Biology_Log_Instructions
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 file contains instructions for collecting biological observations and bird bands at Australian Antarctic and subantarctic stations. This is a scanned copy of the original log.
The documents in the file are as follows:
1) Biological Programmes - ANARE Induction Lectures (likely to be the 1967-1968 season)
2) Notes on Collecting Biological Data (likely to be the 1958-1959 season)
3) Biology Instructions Bird Banding (likely to be the 1967-1968 season)
The hard copy of the log has been archived at the National Archives of Australia.
