    Jenkins, Felicity. Jeroen Creuwels checks a band with a transponder on a newly monitored petrel on Ardery Island. One of the daily tasks on Ardery is to check the nesting sites of the four species of petrel around the Island. On monitored birds, a transponder is used to record information from implanted microchips. Visual records, such as plastic and metal banding, is also checked.

    Jenkins, Felicity. Biologist Kerry Steinberger launches an XBT (Temperature and Depth probe) from the stern of the Aurora Australis. Data is collected and graphed on a central computer providing a crossection of temperature and depth with Southern Latitudes. Aurora Australis 7.9.97 [electronic resource] /
     
  8.  
    Jenkins, Felicity. Biologist Kerry Steinberger demonstrates how temperature and depth data is retrieved and graphed on a central computer providing information on the Southern Ocean by Latitude. Aurora Australis 27.9.97 [electronic resource] /
     
  9.  
    Jenkins, Felicity. Crew retrieve a Continuous Phytoplankton Recorder (CPR) from the stern of the Aurora Australis. Recording the change of species with latitude, the CPR is dragged behind the Aurora Australis for 300 - 400 nautical miles at intervals until the ice edge is reached. The CPR collects marine organism samples such as Phyto plankton, and krill in a fine mesh, giving scientists an indication as to what species exist and to what abundance according to latitude. Aurora Australis  30.9.97 [electronic resource] /

    Jenkins, Felicity. Biologists inspect a Continuous Phytoplankton Sampler 9CPR) for marine organisms caught in fine mesh.  Recording the change of species with latitude, the CPR is dragged behind the Aurora Australis for 300 - 400 nautical miles at intervals until the ice edge is reached.  The CPR collects marine organism samples such as Phyto plankton, and krill in a fine mesh, giving scientists an indication as to what species exist and to what abundance according to latitude.

    Jenkins, Felicity. Meteorology aboard the Aurora Australis Weather ForecasterLance Cowled (R) shows Biologist Andrew Davidson how a satellite image is used to find the ice edge via surface temperature and the ships location.  A full Meteorological Lab aboard the Aurora provides up to the minute weather and Ice conditions to assist in navigation for sea and air operations as well as for research purposes.

    Jenkins, Felicity. The Aurora Australis heads south for Casey Station during the second voyage of the Antarctic Summer Season.  The Aurora Australis (P&O), a research and supply vessel and Australia's only ice breaker, is contracted by the Australian Antarctic Division to provide transport to and from the Australian Antarctic Stations.

    Jenkins, Felicity. David Taylor (foreground) aims at a passing seal(s), while Filippo Quartararo (background) takes sextant readings to determine seal position during shipboard surveying.  Seal survey developemental work has involved the construction and testing of a sophisticated automatic data logging system for aerial and shipboard surveys.

    Jenkins, Felicity. Veterinarian Michael Lynch has a trial run with a dart gun before setting out with team to capture a crabeater seal and attach a data collecting device to it's back. Team: Program leader, two vets, marine mammal specialist, and field training officer.  Aurora Australis 6.10.97 [electronic resource] /

    Jenkins, Felicity. An agitated Crabeater seal looks on as the Aurora Australis pulls up beside to let veterinarians conduct reseach.  Pack-ice seals are among the dominant top predators of the Antarctic marine ecosystem.  The Crabeater seal is the most abundant of the pack ice seals, and is thought to be the largest single consumer of Krill.  Aurora Australis 6.10.97 [electronic resource] /
