This file contains a biology report from Wilkes station in 1963. The report pertains specifically to a visit to Ardery Island in January, 1963 by F. Soucek. The report contains biological observations, as well as an extract from a publication and some hand-drawn maps. The observations were made of: South polar skuas Giant petrels Cape pigeons Silver-grey petrels Antarctic petrels Snow petrels Wilson's storm petrels The hard copy of the map has been archived by the Australian Antarctic Division library.

This file contains a log of zoological observations made by Richard Penney at Wilkes station from 1959 to 1961. The observations were made in the Windmill Islands, at locations such as Clarke Island, Frazier Islands (Islets), Ardery Island (Islet), Odbert Island and Petersen Island. The observations were made of, adelie penguins, emperor penguins, south polar skuas, giant petrels, cape pigeons, silver-grey petrels, antarctic petrels, snow petrels, wilson's storm petrels, terns, ross seals, crabeater seals, elephant seals, weddell seals, leopard seals and killer whales. Bird banding is also covered in the report. The download file contains the official copy of the report, as well as Richard Penney's personal copy, which includes some handwritten notes. The hard copy of the map has been archived by the Australian Antarctic Division library.

This file contains a report on silver grey petrels in the Windmill Islands in 1961. The report contains hand-drawn maps of Ardery Island, banding information and general information. The data were collected on Ardery Island, Nellie Island and Wilkes Station. The hard copy of the file has been archived by the Australian Antarctic Division library.

Very little information is available on the geomorphology of areas surrounding Australian Antarctic stations. This type of information is generally collected during geological surveys. This metadata record gathers a range of descriptive geomorphological information of various nature: -Habitat surveys were conducted in the season 2002-2003 in the Windmill Islands in parallel with bird nest mapping (reported in metadata record BIRDSCASEY0203) in order to study selection of nest sites by a range of species. Habitat was described in the survey sites searched for bird nests following various methods (described in BIRDSCASEY0203). Information is stored as GIS files (Arcview 3.2) -polygon shapefile gathering all the geomorphological units. -line shapefile describing habitat along transects used for searching bird nests -polygon shapefile describing habitat in small 25*25m quadrats used for searching bird nests -A collection of 1309 digital photos showing the sites searched for bird nests indexed by grid site number. Plus another set of 194 photos showing region of the Windmill Islands or bird nests more in detail -A set of Digital Elevation Models (DEM) covering the entire Windmill Islands area generated separately for 18 regions. -200m*200m grid created from the coverage of ice-free areas (Aerial photography 93-94) providing site numbers for the photographic database -A series of Black and White aerial Photos (500 m, Zeiss, 1994) scanned at high resolution for the purpose of substrate study.
