Surveys at the Vestfold Hills for the Australian Antarctic Division's Year Round Aviation Access Project 5097 2018-19

Surveying at the Vestfold Hills for the Australian Antarctic Division's Year Round Aviation Access Project 5097 was carried out during the summer of 2018/19 by by LCPL Brad Smart and LCPL Mathew Van Rees Hoets of the Australian Defence Force. The four areas of work are described below.Air quality and noise samples were conducted. The sampling was coordinated by Dr Barbara Frankel, Aron Gavin and Dr Alistair Reed and conducted by Brad Smart and Mathew Van Rees Hoets. At the end of the summer season and prior to the departure of Voyage 3, winter ‘long-term’ monitoring stations were established at four predetermined locations in the Vestfold Hills. This included setting up a semi-permanent mast at AQ1 (Davis) and AQ4 (near Brookes Hut) and installing the Air Quality Transmitter AQT400 sensor, CO2 monitor GMP252, the dataTracker DT80M Data Logger, external batteries and solar panels for each location, respectively. The above sensors/monitors were also set up on the pre-established Automatic Weather Station (AWS) at Adams Flat AWS and The Ridge AWS. A dust deposition gauge was setup on the AQ1 site at Davis, close to the Meteorology building. Stakes were set up at 'Camp Lake Valley' for ground monitoring and observations made.Geological drill holes and test-pits completed during the summer were surveyed. The sites were at 'Camp Lake Valley', 'Camp Knoll' Valley' (also known as 'East Valley') and Adams Flat.A set-out was completed for the proposed runway centreline alignment north-east of Davis. This was done to aid filming of the alignment.For each area of work a report is included with the data.

为澳大利亚南极分部第5097号全年航空通达项目，澳大利亚国防军下士布拉德·斯马特（Brad Smart）与马修·范里斯·胡茨（Mathew Van Rees Hoets）于2018/2019年夏季在范德弗尔德丘陵（Vestfold Hills）开展了勘测工作。下文将对四大工作板块逐一详述。

空气质量与噪声采样工作由芭芭拉·弗兰克尔博士（Dr Barbara Frankel）、阿伦·加文（Aron Gavin）与阿利斯泰尔·里德博士（Dr Alistair Reed）统筹，布拉德·斯马特与马修·范里斯·胡茨执行。夏季季末、第三航次（Voyage 3）离港前，项目组在范德弗尔德丘陵的4处预设点位搭建冬季“长期”监测站：在AQ1（戴维斯站，Davis）与AQ4（布鲁克斯小屋附近，Brookes Hut）分别架设半永久性桅杆，并为各点位依次安装空气质量发射器AQT400传感器、二氧化碳监测仪GMP252、dataTracker DT80M数据记录仪、外置电池与太阳能板。上述传感与监测设备还被部署于亚当斯平原自动气象站（Automatic Weather Station, AWS）与里奇岭自动气象站的既有设施上。在戴维斯站紧邻气象楼的AQ1点位，还搭建了粉尘沉积测量仪。项目组在“坎普湖谷”（Camp Lake Valley）布设测桩以开展地面监测与观测工作。

夏季完成的地质钻孔与探坑勘测工作，其点位分布于“坎普湖谷”、“坎普诺尔谷”（Camp Knoll Valley，又称“东谷”，East Valley）与亚当斯平原（Adams Flat）。

项目组为戴维斯站东北侧拟建跑道的中心线走向完成了放线测量，该工作旨在辅助该走向的影像摄制。
