Aliens_in_Ant_Visitor_Numbers
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
One Excel worksheet is provided. This contains estimates of the number of scientists (including their support personnel) landing at ice-free locations in Antarctica. Estimates were derived from station maximum and winter national program numbers for 2007-08 provided by the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs (COMNAP). Raw tourist data were provided by the International Association of Antarctic Tourism Operators (IAATO) and were filtered for duplicates and non-ice free landings. we do not have permission to make these data publicly available, contact IAATO directly(www.iaato.org) to request access.
Purpose
These data were derived and used in calculations in the manuscript "A continent-wide spatial risk assessment for the establishment of non-indigenous species in Antarctica" that will shortly be submitted to an international peer-reviewed journal.
