Davis Time (DAVT) operates at UTC+7 and is used year-round at Davis Station, an Australian research base in Antarctica. DAVT does not observe daylight saving time and serves as the standard time for coordinating scientific and logistical activities at the station. It is sometimes simply called "Davis Station Time."
Importance and Global Use of DAVT
Davis Time (DAVT) is critical for managing daily operations, research projects, and safety protocols at Davis Station, which supports studies in areas such as glaciology, climate science, and marine biology. Maintaining a consistent time zone helps synchronize work shifts, communications, and supply deliveries in the challenging Antarctic environment.
On a global scale, DAVT has minimal civilian or commercial influence, but it plays an important role in international scientific cooperation in Antarctica. The standardized use of DAVT at Davis Station allows seamless coordination with other research programs and contributes to global scientific efforts focused on climate change, environmental monitoring, and ecosystem preservation.
