Full description

This dataset includes maps produced from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre GIS for use in environmental management of the 'old' Casey station tip site and the abandoned Wilkes station site: a map of the Windmill Islands showing the locations of Casey and Wilkes, contour maps of Casey and Wilkes and a map showing the water flow directions at Casey.
The maps were used for locating contaminated areas and identifying the processes involved in contamination spread.
Also included in the dataset is the GIS topographic and derived data used to create the maps.

Lineage

Progress Code: completed
Statement: The maps were created using the software ArcInfo. The original data used for creating these maps contained numerous errors or missing information in the contour lines. Hence, before using the data to create a digital elevation model these errors had to be corrected and data interpolated over the data gaps. The maps are therefore dependent on the errors in the original data.
