Description
Summary:Area of heavy ground disturbance surrounding Davis Station. Originally GIS-mapped from aerial imagery during 2008 and then ground-truthed during fieldwork at Davis on the 11th December 2008. Footprint shapefile of heavy ground disturbance for Davis Station. This shapefile was created by mapping all areas of visible heavy surface disturbance at Davis Station from aerial imagery during 2008. This area was then ground-truthed and corrected from fieldwork measurements on the 11th December 2008 with support from the Australian Antarctic Program.
