Brief Description (Abstract):

A great necessity was projected by various scientific organisations participating in Antarctica Expeditions to have a large scale map of Maitri and its surroundings with a very small contour interval. Accordingly during the Austral summer of 1993- 94, a large scale original survey on 1:1000 scale with 1 meter contour interval was carried out by conventional methods by the SOI scientific team. In addition to above the field observations of total magnetic force at nine existing control points situated all along the Schirmacher Oasis, and monitoring the dynamic movement of Dakshin Gangotri Glacier Snout with Geological Survey of India team were undertaken.

Status: Completed

Purpose: (a) To carry out l1000 scale original planetable survey with 1 meter contour interval of an ajrea of size 500 x 500 m around tfie Indian Station Maitri. (b) To carry out repeat at observations of gravity and total magnetic force. The gravimetric observations were to be carried, out in collaborations with the National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI), Hyderabad team for geophysical research. (c) To check the dynamic movement of Dakshin Gangotri Glacier with Geological Survey of India scientific team. (d) To provide assistance to other departmental scientific teams requiring cartographic help for pursuing their allotted tasks.
