Law Dome BHQ Ice Core Drilling Logbooks from 1977

1977 logbooks record details of ice core drilling at site BHQ on Law Dome. The collection consists of 3 books containing stratigraphy information for some core segments. The Australian Antarctic Division (AU_AADC) archived a hard copy of this document.

Use Cases

• Analyzing drilling parameters and core segment stratigraphy recorded in the logbook entries.
• Correlating stratigraphy notes from specific core segments with other Law Dome climate records.
• Studying the operational details and context of the 1977 BHQ drilling campaign documented in the logs.

Strengths

• Primary source material from a specific 1977 Antarctic drilling campaign.
• Contains stratigraphy information for selected ice core segments.

Limitations

• Limited data scope, consisting of 3 logbooks with unknown page or entry count.
• Stratigraphy information is noted as limited and not available for all core segments.
• Data is temporally stale, last updated at the end of 1977.
