GLS tag deployments on Snow petrels (Pagodroma nivea) in 2011 and 2012 from Bechervaise Island, Mawson Coast and Filla Island, Rauer Group

GPS tag deployments on Snow petrels (Pagodroma nivea) in 2011 from Bechervaise Island, Mawson Coast and Filla Island, Rauer Group, as part of AAS project 2722.

Identifying potential threats from a changing environment on snow petrel populations requires understanding key ecological processes and their driving factors. This project focuses on determining driving factors for the species' at-sea distribution and foraging habitat. The data will be linked to spatio-temporally coincident data of biological and physical characteristics of the ecosystem to develop explanatory models and, where possible, predictive models to explore the outcomes of plausible scenarios of future environmental change on snow petrel populations.

Tags were deployed on Snow Petrels in the Mawson and Davis areas for tracking purposes. The types of tags used were BAS (British Antarctic Survey) geolocators (Mk18)

The GLS data are in hexadecimal format, and will need appropriate software to interpret them.

2011年于莫森海岸贝彻尔瓦伊斯岛及劳尔群岛菲拉岛开展的雪鹱（Snow petrel，学名*Pagodroma nivea*）GPS标签部署工作，系澳大利亚南极局（AAS）2722号项目的组成部分。

明确环境变化对雪鹱种群的潜在威胁，需厘清其核心生态过程及驱动因子。本项目聚焦于探明该物种海上分布与觅食栖息地的驱动因素。本数据集将与生态系统生物及物理特征的时空重合数据相结合，以构建解释性模型，并在条件允许的情况下构建预测模型，用以探究未来环境变化的合理情景对雪鹱种群的影响。

本次研究在莫森与戴维斯区域的雪鹱个体上部署了追踪用标签。所用标签为英国南极调查局（British Antarctic Survey, BAS）的Mk18型地理定位器。

本数据集包含的地理定位器（Geolocator, GLS）数据采用十六进制格式，需使用适配软件方可解析。
