Taken from sections of the Report:\r\n\r\nThe purpose of the 1998/99 Antarctic survey season was to provide survey control around Davis, Beaver Lake and the Prince Charles Mountains in support of the ANARE mapping program (ANAREMAGIP) as well as providing survey support for other ANARE science programs. \r\n\r\nSurveyors Matt King and Rachael Manson from the Centre for Spatial Information Science, University of Tasmania, already travelling to Davis as part of a ASAC project, were appointed as surveyors for the 1998/99 season.\r\n\r\nThe Royal Australian Army provided Cartographer/Surveyor Lee Palfrey to assist with the survey program in the Davis region.\r\n\r\nThe Antarctic Division's Brief to Surveyors which outlines the details of the program is included in Appendix A. The survey program consisted of the following major areas:\r\n\r\n- Photo control \r\n\r\n - Vestfold Hills (Platcha, Ellis Narrows and Marine Plain)\r\n\r\n - Larsemann Hills\r\n\r\n - Beaver Lake, Pagodroma Gorge and Soyuz station \r\n\r\n- Field checking of photogrammetric plotting\r\n\r\n - Davis station digital map\r\n\r\n - Vestfold Hills\r\n\r\n - Larsemann Hills\r\n\r\n- Providing GPS coordinates for all uncoordinated survey marks in the Vestfold Hills. \r\n\r\n- Completion of various tasks relating to the Davis tide gauge\r\n\r\n - Downloading and retrieval of the existing tide gauge at Davis. \r\n\r\n - Installation of the new tide gauge at Davis. \r\n\r\n - Timed water-level measurements.\r\n\r\n - Precise levelling connection of the tide gauge bench marks with the ARGN GPS site at Davis.\r\n\r\n - Third order levelling to connect the current tide gauge bench marks to those previously used by the Royal Australian Navy.*\r\n\r\n- Lake levels within the Vestfold Hills.\r\n\r\n- Installation of a new tide pole for Deep Lake.\r\n\r\n- Engineering surveys at Davis\r\n\r\n- Aerial photography of penguin colonies along the coast near Davis.*\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n* These tasks were not included in the original brief but were carried out at the ...
