Metadata details
survey_2000-01_auslig
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
Taken from sections of the report:
Introduction
The 2000/2001 Antarctic Geodesy Summer Program consisted of a number of distinct components. They included:
- ARGN reference mark surveys at Mawson and Davis.
- Orthometric height connections between the Mawson ARGN site (AUS064) and the Mawson TGBM (AUS258).
- Orthometric height connections between the Davis ARGN site (AUS099) and the Davis TGBM (AUS186).
- Connection by GPS to the Tide Gauge Benchmarks at Mawson, Davis and Larsemann Hills.
- Strengthen the Australian Antarctic Geodetic Network with GPS observations where possible.
- Establish a permanent Australian monument and connection to existing Chinese monuments in the Grove Mountains.
- Connect to Russian and Chinese Geodetic control points in the Larsemann Hills vicinity for datum unification.
- Derive ellipsoidal heights for lake benchmarks in the Vestfold Hills for the purpose of developing a geometric geoid model for that area.
The following report details the work completed in the 2000/2001 summer season, bu AUSLIG (Now Geoscience Australia) geodetic surveyors, Gary Johnston and Paul Digney between November 2000 and March 2001.
