Relict Adelie Penguin colonies in the Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT).

Distribution, abundance and dates of relict Adelie Penguin colonies in the Australian Antarctic Territory (AAT).


Current mapping efforts have focused on the Windmill Islands in preparation for a PhD study to commence in 2004/05 with the two investigators.


The planned PhD study will work at either the Windmill Islands or the Vestfold Hills.


This project integrates ASAC projects 1219 and 1322 (ASAC_1219, ASAC_1322).
