Project 3338 (2012-13), 3372 (2013-14), 5007 (2014-17) During the 2012/13 field season geotechnical and environmental investigations were undertaken at Davis Station in order to investigate the viability of the 'Coastal Site' as a potential gravel or hard surface runway through standard site investigation and environmental sampling techniques (Project 3338). The study area was referred to as 'Adams' Flat' for project purposes. Ongoing data acquisition was managed through Project 3372. For Project 5007 the sites of interest include Heidemann Valley. Both areas are in close proximity to Davis on Broad Peninsula.
