AAS_4088_Adelie_occupancy_Stanton_2015

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

    The dataset comprises Adelie penguin colony boundaries at three sites in the vicinity of Stanton Island. Boundaries were derived from oblique aerial photographs taken in the Stanton Island group. The aerial photographs were geo-referenced to AAT coastline polygon data and the boundaries of Adelie penguin colonies were digitised.

    Quality

    It was not possible to geo-reference oblique photos perfectly. The colony boundaries are less accurate than those derived from vertical aerial photography (eg Vestfolds and Rauers) or ground survey (eg Robinsons).
