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
A masters thesis, written by David Carter, that was a detailed study of the Wilkes Ice Cap (now Law Dome) work that had been completed in the 1960s up to and including the 1967 field season. It includes detailed information on accumulation recorded, levelling measurements made (optical, barometric and reciprocal angle), and echo sounding. Includes full tables of results.
