AAS_4046_2014QuadratPhotographs
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
This record contains digital photographs collected for the Windmill Islands long term vegetation monitoring program, conducted in 2014, under project AAS_4046. Photographs of each quadrat were taken to assess vegetation cover/health in 2014. Previous photographs are presented in separate metadata record: doi:10.4225/15/59fbbb909cf71. Data are presented in separate metadata records: doi:10.4225/15/59d454f962bd6, ####.
Quadrat location data at two sites in the Windmill Islands (ASPA 135 and Robinson Ridge) are provided in metadata ID: AAS_4046_quadrat_locations
(http://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/metadata/metadata.cfm?entry_id=AAS_4046_quadrat_locations).
And shown in two maps which are available via the AADC map catalogue:
