A spatial reference system for coastal ice-free land in East Antarctica
This dataset comprises a table and set of maps of all geographic sites of ice-free land along the East Antarctica coastline between longitudes 37°E and 160°E. Each geographic site comprises a discrete area of ice-free land and includes islands within 100 km of the coast and outcrops of ice free continental rock within 1 km of the coast. The geographic sites were identified in a geographic information system using polygons sourced from the AAT Coastline 2003 dataset produced by Geoscience Australia and the Australian Antarctic Division, and exposed rock polygons sourced from the Antarctic Digital Database version 4.0 produced for the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research. The maps are grouped into sub-regions and regions, with multiple maps in most sub-regions. The maps were designed to be of a scale that could be used in the field to identify sites by their shape and location. This dataset has previously been used in the specific context of potential breeding habitat for Adelie penguins (doi:10.4225/15/5758F4EC91665) but has potential for broader use in a wide range of ecological and environmental studies.
2021-06-30 - an updated copy of the spatial reference system spreadsheet was uploaded. The update was only minor.

- Maintenance note
- 2016-06-09 - record created by Dave Connell from a template completed by Colin Southwell. 2016-06-16 - record updated by Dave Connell to publicly release the data. 2021-02-25 - record updated by Colin Southwell to generalise the metadata record for publication. A new DOI was created for the new version of the metadata record to differentiate it from the old (data have remained the same). 2021-03-01 - record updated by Dave Connell to change the Entry_ID from AAS_4088 _Adelie_Potential_Habitats to AAS_4088_Spatial_reference_system_coastal_east_Antarctica 2021-06-30 - record updated by Dave Connell after a revised file was provided by Colin Southwell.
