Metadata details

ASAC_140

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

    Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 140
    See the link below for public details on this project.

    A published document (ANARE Report 142) includes reports of marine mammals from the Sir Douglas Mawson's Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1911-14 (AAE) and the British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition of 1929-31 (BANZARE). ). Five typescript reports and three manuscripts from archives of The Mawson Institute for Antarctic Research, University of Adelaide are published. Five deal with marine mammals of the AAE and three are from the BANZARE.

    Within the ANARE Report 142 there are extracts from AAE and BANZARE observations of marine mammals from their respective scientific reports. There is additional review and comment on those historical observations from author Shaughnessy and other researchers.

    A copy of the published ANARE Report is available for download from the provided URL. It contains the extracts of the AAE and BANZARE reports, plus commentary.
