The dataset comprises of a digital polygon/point coverage of lakes and ponds identified from documented field observations compiled by Dr Ian D Goodwin from his own field notes as well as topographic and surface lake features identified and interpreted on aerial photographs taken by AUSLIG (now Geoscience Australia) in the 1993-94 field season. Each lake/pond is represented as a polygon with a central point label which is linked to a separate digital database (ie attribute tables) containing additional information. Sediment samples collected predominantly along the shoreline of these lakes represent a chronology of glacial events/influences on these lakes. Sediment samples taken as a profiled sequence or core can be dated using radiocarbon dating to provide a chronological picture and age occurance of deglaciation and glaciation cycles within the Windmill Islands. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[110.0, -67.0], [111.0, -67.0], [111.0, -66.0], [110.0, -66.0], [110.0, -67.0]]]} 110.0 111.0 -67.0 -66.0 AMD AMD-AU CEOS CONTINENT - ANTARCTICA - Windmill Islands EARTH SCIENCE - LAND SURFACE - LAND USE-LAND COVER EARTH SCIENCE - TERRESTRIAL HYDROSPHERE - SURFACE WATER - LAKES FIELD SURVEYS GEOGRAPHIC REGION - POLAR GEOMORPHOLOGY GIS GROUND-BASED OBSERVATIONS LAKES WINDMILL ISLANDS Point of truth URL of this metadata record documentDigital Point of truth URL of this metadata record Download point for the data - shapefiles documentDigital Download point for the data - shapefiles SHP Public information for ASAC project 339 documentDigital Public information for ASAC project 339 Citation reference for this metadata record and dataset documentDigital Citation reference for this metadata record and dataset
