	Australian Antarctic Division - Climate variability in Eastern Wilkes Land: Australian ITASE ice core drilling, 2003-04
		The Wilkes Land ITASE work of this past season developed from previous Australian work in the region; ANARE glaciological traverses in the 1980s were precursors to ITASE, producing an array of shallow cores 30–60 m deep from 95°E–135°E longitude giving climate records spanning the mid-to-late twentieth century.
		The 1980s ice cores from this region show a well-preserved climate signal: a factor that is not universal, depending upon rate of snowfall and re-working of the surface by wind.
		This transition may be the result of the influence of persistent high pressure systems south of eastern Australia and their influence on atmospheric circulation over Wilkes Land, producing strong katabatic outflow as cold air sinks down the west side of the ice sheet ridge between Dome C and Dumont d’Urville.
