Adelie penguin occupancy survey of islands along the Knox Coast, 2011
An occupancy survey in December 2009-February 2010 and January 2011 found a total of 6 islands along the Knox coast had populations of breeding Adelie penguins. The survey in 2009/10 was conducted from a fixed wing aircraft and oblique aerial photographs were taken of occupied sites. The aerial photographs were geo-referenced to satellite images or the coastline shapefile from the Landsat Image Mosaic of Antarctica (LIMA, tile E157) and the boundaries of penguin colonies were digitised from the geo-referenced photos. Details for each island are:
Merrit: Photographs taken on 1 February 2010 and geo-referenced to LIMA tile E157
Cape Nutt: Photographs taken on 5 January 2010 and geo-referenced to a Quickbird satellite image taken on 17 February 2011
Ivanoff Head: Photographs taken on 27 December 2009 and geo-referenced to LIMA tile E157

Resource lineage
- Statement
- It was not possible to geo-reference oblique photos to satellite images perfectly. The colony boundaries are less accurate than those derived from vertical aerial photography (eg Vestfolds and Rauers) or ground survey (eg Robinsons).
