GIS dataset of Wilkes produced from survey work completed in 2010

In 2010 we undertook sampling of soil and waters around Wilkes station and the main tip site. We repeated the work of Snape et al. 1999 and took a more dense set of samples across the area to determine the extent and types of contamination. These data are complementary to the 1999 GIS dataset (see t...

Description
Summary:In 2010 we undertook sampling of soil and waters around Wilkes station and the main tip site. We repeated the work of Snape et al. 1999 and took a more dense set of samples across the area to determine the extent and types of contamination. These data are complementary to the 1999 GIS dataset (see the metadata record with ID - ASAC_1163_WilkesGis_1999). Description: Additional spatial data were collected and added to the existing AAD Wilkes GIS database (Nadia Babicka map). Locations of sediment, water, potentially hydrocarbon contaminated sediment, potentially hydrocarbon contaminated water and background samples were collected by Macquarie University and AAD staff, in January 2010, including hyperlinked sample photos; locations of Wilkes station buildings with numbers from Snape et al (1998) Created by: Macquarie University, Oct 2010 Files: The data are held as an ArcGIS 9.3 document with associated shapefiles. Wilkes_Bab_MU2010: ArcGIS map file WilkesMac2010: excel spreadsheet of sample data collected by Macquarie University staff, Jan 2010 Bab_gis_data: underlying data for Babicka GIS database Sample_Pics: Photos of sites of sample collected by Macquarie University Staff, Jan 2010 Layer files: layer files are all listed as MU_Sed2010; MU_Water2010; MU_HCSed2010; MU_HCWater2010; MU_Bkgnd2010; Buildings Operation: Hyperlinked photos activated by selecting 'lightning bolt' icon from tool bar - features with hyperlinks are highlighted in blue - wave mouse pointer over desired feature, when lightning bolt turns black, left click and hyperlinked doc will pop up.
