In situ observations of Antarctic sea-ice drift and deformation Argos User Meeting, 1st April 2007, Hobart, Australia, 2007 (Ref: 12887)
Authors:
Category 3: Abstract

Over the past two decades drifting sea-ice buoys have been used by the Australian Government Antarctic Division [AGAD] to observe sea-ice drift and deformation. Initial deployments often used single buoys … to resolve the large-scale characteristics of Antarctic sea-ice drift.

Hydrocarbon contamination and remediation of Antarctic ecosystems Australian Society for Microbiology Annual Scientific Meeting, Adelaide, 9-13 July 2007, 2007 (Ref: 13060)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Australia’s Antarctic territory contains several hydrocarbon-contaminated sites of varying size and severity as a result of fifty years of human activities in the region. Contaminated site remediation in Antarctica is more challenging than in Australia.

Seasonal changes in bacterial biomass and activity at an Antarctic coastal site SCAR XXIX/COMNAP XVIII Conference 8-15 July 2006. Hobart, Australia, 2006 (Ref: 12998)
Category 3: Poster

Bacteria play a key role in the world's oceans, supporting nutrient remineratlisation and mediating … carbon transfer. Most studies of marine bacteria in the … Southern Ocean are restricted to the summer months. Thus…

New insights into the origins of crustaceans of Antarctic lakes Antarctic Science, 2007 (Ref: 13069)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

New evidence regarding the origins of the Crustacea of Antarctic lakes is reviewed. Palaeolimnological data indicates that the cladoceran Daphniopsis studeri has been present in Lake Reid, Larsemann Hills, for over 120 000 yr.

Tardigrade eggs and exuviae in Antarctic lake sediments: insights into Holocene dynamics and origins of the fauna Journal of Limnology. Proceedings of the Tenth International Symposium on Tardigrada., 2007 (Ref: 13068)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The preservation of tardigrade eggs and exuviae in Antarctic lake sediments provided an opportunity to assess post-glacial … colonisation and Holocene tardigrade dynamics on the southern continent. Tardigrade eggs were recovered from five lakes…

Tardigrade remains from lake sediments Journal of Paleolimnology, 2007 (Ref: 13067)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Remains of tardigrades have rarely been … reported to preserve in sediments, resulting in the … absence of important ecological and biogeographic … information that they could provide. However…

A new species of Nemotoceras and characterisation of N. dienemum (Orchidaceae), both from subantarctic Macquarie Island Telopea, 2007 (Ref: 12988)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Two species of Nematoceras (Orchidaceae) from subantarctic Macquarie Island are characterised, illustrated and details of distribution and ecology are provided. Nematoceras sulcatum … M.A.Clem. et D.L.Jones…

A "bottom up" governance framework for developing Australia's marine spatial data infrastructure (SDI) Data Science Journal, 2007 (Ref: 13021)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) have been developing in some countries for over 10 years but still suffer from … having a relatively small installed base. Most SDIs will soon converge around a service-oriented-architecture (SOA)…

Nematodes from saline and freshwater lakes of the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica, including the description of Hypodontolaimus antarcticus sp. n. Polar Biology, 2006 (Ref: 12797)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The invertebrate fauna of many Antarctic … ice-free areas, even those close to permanent research … stations, can be poorly known. Here we describe some … nematodes from freshwater and saline, marine-derived … lakes of the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica.

Estimation of thin sea-ice thickness from NOAA AVHRR data in a polynya off the Wilkes Land coast, East Antarctica Annals of Glaciology, 2006 (Ref: 12848)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Antarctic coastal polynyas are major areas of intense ocean–atmosphere heat and moisture … flux, and associated high sea-ice production and dense-water formation. Their accurate detection, including an estimate of thin ice thickness, is therefore very important. In this paper…

Relativistic proton production during recent solar events 4th Annual Meeting, Asia Oceania Geosciences Society, Bangkok, Thailand, 31 July - 4 August 2007, 2007 (Ref: 13051)
Category 3: Abstract

On 20 January 2005 the sun produced the highest intensity of relativistic … solar particles observed at Earth in 50 years. The sea-level increase at Terre Adelie … (~46 X in 1 minute data) was slightly less than in 1956 (Leeds ~47 X in 15 minute … data).
