Glaciology 1987 "Traverse 1B" (Law Dome, Wilkes Land) Records and Measurements

A 46 day traverse out of Casey across Law Dome/Wilkes Land carried out a large number of measurements as they traveled along their route. A number of ice core holes were drilled, and the ice temperatures down the boreholes measured. Gravity measurements and air pressure were also recorded, along wit...

Description
Summary:A 46 day traverse out of Casey across Law Dome/Wilkes Land carried out a large number of measurements as they traveled along their route. A number of ice core holes were drilled, and the ice temperatures down the boreholes measured. Gravity measurements and air pressure were also recorded, along with current levels on snow accumulation stakes. A copy of the traverse log is included in these notes. These documents have been archived in the records store at the Australian Antarctic Division.
