Survey Report for the Casey-Antarctica Air Transport Project 2003-2004

Taken from the survey report:

Construction of a suitable runway near Casey is a major objective of the Air Link from Hobart to the Australian Antarctic Territory and the main focus of this season's fieldwork. The 2002/2003 summer season's Air Transport Project identified and started construction of a snow capped 'Blue Ice' runway site known as A6 South, located in the Upper Vanderford Glacier (UVG) region approximately 65 km south east of Casey Station.

This season a five-member team was assembled to undertake additional investigation work in relation to snow pavement and to finalise the appropriate aeronautical charts needed to operate a runway supporting wheeled aircraft conducting inter-continental flights from Hobart.

The runway survey work this season had several objectives:

1) undertake further work on A6 South to produce Type A and B aeronautical charts;

2) determine the Runway flow (movement) rates;

3) survey the Taxiway and Apron areas to facilitate their design; and

4) survey the traverse route from Casey to the site to assist in VHF communications between the Runway and Casey station.

Additional to the Runway survey a number of other tasks were also carried out in

support of science programs being undertaken at Casey.

The tasks outlined in the surveyors brief are varied and numerous and are included to provide the surveyor with a full and appropriate work program. The various tasks are prioritised, usually with one or two major tasks and a number of minor tasks listed to be undertaken if the opportunity arises. This season's Survey Brief has been included in Appendix A with a summary of achievements listed in Appendix B.

The following report covers the survey fieldwork undertaken by Air Transport Project (ATP) during the 2003/2004 Summer Field Season. Data collected in support of other scientific programs has been included in this report primarily as a record of work undertaken by the mapping program. These data have been supplied to the various scientists for inclusion in their studies.

Spot height and contour data that were a product of this survey are included in shapefiles available from the Related URLs. The spot heights and contours that were a product of this survey have Dataset_id = 278 in the attribute table.

The spot heights are along the route from Casey to Wilkins aerodrome, in the vicinity of the aerodrome, along the route to Browning Peninsula and from Browning Peninsula to the aerodrome.

The contours cover Wilkins aerodrome and nearby area.

Elevations are in metres above mean sea level.

The surveyor, Aaron Read, calculated the elevations above mean sea level from elevations above the ellipsoid using the EGM96 geoid model.

A GIS dataset of Snow Petrel nests mapped in the Mawson region during the 2004-2005 season

Very little information is known about the distribution and abundance of Snow petrels at the regional and local scales. This dataset contains the locations of Snow petrel nests, mapped in the Mawson region during the 2004-2005 season. Location of nests were recorded with handheld Trimble Geoexplorer GPS receivers, differentially corrected and stored as an Arcview point shapefile (ESRI software).

Descriptive information relating to each bird nest was recorded and a detailed description of the data fields is provided in the description of the shapefile (word document). A text file also provides the attribute information (formatted for input into R statistical software).

This work has been completed as part of ASAC project 2704 (ASAC_2704).

Adelie penguin colonies in the Robinson Group, Antarctica: surveys conducted during 2005/06 and 2006/07

GPS surveys of Adelie Penguin colonies in the Robinson Group, Antarctica were carried out by field biologists from the Australian Antarctic Division during the 2005/06 and 2006/07 seasons. In 2005/06 point data were collected representing the presence or absence of colonies on the islands. The data were collected by Matt Low and Lisa Meyer. In 2006/07 polygon data were collected representing the colonies on the islands. The data were collected by Matt Low and Rhonda Pike. The biologists were working on a project led by Dr Colin Southwell of the Australian Antarctic Division.

Regions used by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre

The regions dataset holds polygon data. The polygons are overlapping and suitable for use at multiple scales. The data include regions as large as the Southern Ocean, Australia's limit of the Southern Ocean, and AAT West. It also includes small areas such as Mawson Coast, Rauer Group and Bunger Hills. Extents for each region are defined in the attribute table.

The data were captured so that online applications, such as the Map Catalogue and Data Navigator, could use region information consistently.

The data are stored in geographicals, i.e. unprojected. The data include an attribute PROJECTION which stores the suggested projection for a region in code. The code represents projections used by Oracle.

Antarctic Specially Protected Areas, Antarctic Specially Managed Areas and Historic Sites and Monuments in the Australian Antarctic Territory - GIS point dataset.

This point GIS dataset is comprised of the locations of Antarctic Specially Protected Areas (ASPAs), Antarctic Specially Managed Areas (ASMAs) and Historic Sites and Monuments (HSMs) within or partially within the Australian Antarctic Territory.

For the ASPAs and ASMAs represented by polygon data in the dataset described by the metadata record 'Antarctic Specially Protected Areas and Antarctic Specially Managed Areas in the Australian Antarctic Territory - GIS polygon dataset', Entry ID: aspas_asmas_aat, centre points were estimated from the polygon data.

Otherwise, centre points for ASPAs and ASMAs were obtained from documentation on the Secretariat of the Antarctic Treaty website (http://www.ats.aq/e/ep_protected.htm), except for Haswell Island for which a polygon representing the island described by the metadata record 'Australian Antarctic Territory Coastline 2003', Entry ID: AAT_Coastline_2003, was used.

Where an ASPA consists of multiple non-contiguous areas, a single latitude, longitude was estimated for the centre point of the ASPA.

Centre points representing Historic Sites and Monuments were obtained from documentation on the Secretariat of the Antarctic Treaty website.

ASMA 2 (McMurdo Dry Valleys) is included in this dataset because part of its boundary is in the Australian Antarctic Territory.

The data is formatted according to the SCAR Feature catalogue (see Related URL).

This data is suitable for small scale use only.

Area of tight shale and deep coal gas prospectivity


## **Abstract** 
This polygon outlines the cumulative prospective area of interest for three gas play types (shale, tight and deep coal gas) in the Cooper GBA region.  As detailed in Lech et al. (2019), the area of interest for each play type was derived from the relative prospectivity maps using a cut-off value of 0.2. This value was chosen as it best represented the envelop around key wells targeting each play type. Significant overlap is present between the three play types.
