3/ Scientific Endeavours and Achievements

The two planned field seasons for the WAVE project have now been completed and despite rather poor weather conditions being encountered on both seasons, considerable success can be reported.

Detailed stratigraphic mapping has been undertaken on Mt Sidley, Mt Waesche and Mt Murphy. Sampling for geochemical study has been undertaken on Mt Sidley, Mt Waesche, Mt Cumming and Mt Hampton (ECR), the USAS Escarpment and Mt. Murphy. Suites of lithospheric xenoliths have been collected from numerous localities in ECR, the USAS Escarpment and Mt Murphy.
