	Casey Station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Casey Station is a permanent base in Antarctica managed by the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD).
		Casey is close to the Wilkes Base established by the United States of America to support science and exploration of Antarctica during the International Geophysical Year (IGY) in 1957/8.
		The current Casey (the "Big Red Shed") was built in the late 1980s near the top the hill on which the old radio masts were located.

		Paul Smith, a 24 year old doctoral student from Latrobe University in Melbourne, Australia, was recently assigned to Casey Research Station on the continent of Antarctica, for the purpose of assisting in the installation of a radar used to study the ionosphere.
		While stationed at the Research facility, Smith, using electronic mail via the Internet, described his experiences of living, working, and exploring the continent of Antarctica to the third grade class of Bruce Daley, a teacher at Elaine Wynn Elementary School in Las Vegas, Nevada.
		We were back at Casey for lunch then went out in the Hagglunds, which are a wonderful Swedish invention that looks essentially like a red box on two tank treads.

	Civil Engineering Magazine - December 2000
		Although a number of Antarctic coastal stations have employed the idea of a pier-foundation to allow for the seasonal scouring and control of drifting snow, the first emergence of a truly "elevated" station was Australia's Casey Station.
		The majority of these stations are located along Antarctica's coastline and were constructed on grade using traditional techniques for cold regions.
		As Old Casey was approaching the last several years of its occupancy, Germany was implementing a new approach to overcoming snow drifting and deposition on the opposite side of the continent.

	Antarctic giant on the move - World - theage.com.au
		A 50 kilometre long iceberg is on the move again after more than a month lodged offshore from Antarctica's Casey station.
		Casey station leader Jeremy Smith said he and his 13 colleagues had become accustomed to seeing the 788 square kilometre B15G on their horizon.
		The iceberg, known as B15G, ran aground at Vincennes Bay at Casey on April 28 after breaking away from a larger iceberg on the Ross Ice Shelf in 2000.

	Update
		The training he gave us at Casey helped get us familiar with the station procedures, where it was safe to walk and where not to walk around the station, and he provided us with some survival skills just in case we get caught out in a blizzard or if an accident occurs.
		At Casey, our instructor was John Burgess, a very capable and knowledgeable climber and outdoorsman from Hobart who teaches outdoor survival to young people when he's not in Antarctica.
		At every station I've visited in the Antarctic, a certain amount of field training is necessary before you can begin your research.

		History: Casey station was established in February, 1959, when Australia took overall responsibility for the US Wilkes station, built in 1957 for the IGY andnamed for Lieutenant Charles Wilkes, leader of the US Exploring Expedition.
		Ten years later when its main building was covered over by snow, Australia replaced Wilkes with Casey station, 2 mi (3k) to thesouth across the bay.

		A general view of the Casey Station area and the islands to the West. The building line is clearly seen as is the area of bare rock ("above" the building line) on which the "new" Casey was built in 1987 and onwards.
		Another view of Casey Station looking to the East and showing the bay and the Clark Peninsular on which the Wilkes Station was built in 1957.
		The site of Wilkes Station clearly showing the almost-buried buildings. Remember that this is taken in the middle of summer and most of the snow which can melt has done so. The presence of the buildings changes the wind patterns and causes build-up which cannot melt completely.

		This set of pages is a short documentary of the trip and life at Casey Station in the Australian Antarctic Territory as it was more than thirty years ago.
		Many things have changed since I was there. Women now regularly staff bases both for the summer research periods and for the winter. The old Casey Station has been demolished and a new resort style building (the "Big Red Shed" I believe it is called) has been erected nearby.
		Monochrome images were also processed at Casey and either printed there or back in Melbourne in the years since.

		On January 3, 2005, a senior official at the Australian Antarctic Division officially confirmed that Casey, Davis and Mawson Research stations are UTC/GMT +8, +7 and +6 hours respectively.
		Times in Antarctica vary depending on the location of the research station and which country is operating the research station.
		Most UK research stations do not observe daylight, but there is one exception to this rule and that is Halley Scientific Research Base.

		Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Interaction Studies at High Latitudes The SPWG in collaboration with the University of Maryland and the Australian Antarctic Division, in February 1997 commissioned a new imaging riometer at the Australian Davis station in Antarctica.
		In addition, the SPWG operates magnetometers at the four Australian Antarctic stations Davis, Casey, Mawson and Macquarie Island, and the New Zealand Scott Base (McMurdo).
		With this multi-instrumented network of stations covering 65 - 80 degrees geomagnetic latitude, the SPWG is engaged in studies involving ultra-low frequency (ULF) hydromagnetic waves and electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves in the 1 mHz - 5 Hz frequency band in relation to dayside cusp and night-time auroral phenomena.
