A series of traverses were carried out from Casey over Law Dome and Wilkes Land in 1980. Information recorded in log books include: - Navigation logs - Conductivity measurements - Trace element analysis logs of ice cores - Tellurometer observations - Magnetometer observations - JMR notes - Snow profiles - Gravity observations - Barometric observations - Accumulation measurements A number of barometric pressure trace charts were made as the traverse was carried out, recording these values in real time. Physical copies of these documents have been stored in the Australian Antarctic Division records store.
