Updated 23/06/2025

This dataset comprises the actual video footage and audio recordings made during a number of experiments made as part of ASAC project 1148 (ASAC_1148). The primary objective was to measure the responses of Antarctic wildlife to various human disturbance stimuli. An excel spreadsheet of a catalogue of the video and audio tapes is available for download from the url given below. The video and audio tapes themselves are stored at the Australian Antarctic Division. For descriptions of (and access to) processed data see the metadata records with the following titles: Measuring the effects of human activity on Weddell Seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) Effects of helicopter operations on emperor penguin chicks Effects of helicopters on Southern Antarctic Fulmars Effects of helicopters on Antarctic wildlife Effects of human activity on Gentoo penguins on Macquarie Island Effects of human activity on King penguins on Macquarie Island Effects of human activity on Royal penguins on Macquarie Island Behavioural responses of Weddell seals to human activity. A copy of the full dataset of video and audio files, as well as another Excel spreadsheet catalogue is available for download from the provided URL. These data were digitised in 2021, and the excel spreadsheet created from the available files.
