Summary

The Australian Antarctic Division is undertaking research to develop remediation techniques and low cost technologies to allow Australia to clean-up Antarctic and subantarctic contaminated sites in a timely and cost effective manner. The results of this work may also be of benefit for managing other Antarctic contaminated sites. Australia would welcome collaboration from interested Antarctic Treaty nations.
