Full description

This dataset was originally set up as a "State of the Environment" indicator - however, that application no longer functions at the Australian Antarctic Data Centre, so the data have been extracted and attached to this original metadata record for the indicator.

INDICATOR DEFINITION
This indicator records the amount rock extracted and crushed for infrastructure needs at Casey, Davis and Mawson stations. Included are some details of the blast burden and pattern.

RATIONALE FOR INDICATOR SELECTION
Concerns have been raised over time by a number of station personnel about environmental impacts of quarry operations at Australian Antarctic Stations as well as impacts on local breeding populations of snow and wilson's storm petrels. Documenting quarry operations is therefore of interest to ensure that agreed quarry boundaries are adhered to along with regulatory non-blast periods to avoid disturbance to petrels during their incubation period.

DESIGN AND STRATEGY FOR INDICATOR MONITORING PROGRAM
Spatial Scale: Australian Antarctic stations: Casey, Davis and Mawson.

Frequency: Yearly

Measurement Technique: Visual

RESEARCH ISSUES
Previously, documentation has rarely been kept and communication of responsibility has been patchy. Anecdotal reports of deficiencies in past management of quarries and non-conformance to the AAD's policies stated in 'Quarrying in Antarctica, an environmental policy statement' (1996) has prompted a new effort to gather data to ensure the AAD is meeting environmental and legislative obligations and is satisfying public expectations for sound environmental management of Australian activities in
Antarctica.

The fields for this dataset are:
Date
Location
Blast
Uncrushed rock removed (cubic metres)
Hours of crusher operation

Lineage

Progress Code: completed
Statement: All data are recorded by the Shot Firer in cooperation with the Engineering Services Supervisor and Station Leader. Cubic metres of uncrushed rock removed are calculated by visual inspection and how many loader buckets are produced. The hours of crusher operation need to be analysed to determine if the vibration and noise contribute to disturbance of snow and Wilson's storm petrels.

Data time period: 2004-12-04 to 2013-02-16
