An assessment of the audibility of sound from human transport by breeding Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii). Wildlife Research, 2006 (Ref: 12593)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Anthropogenic noise generated through travel in the Antarctic has the potential to affect the region’s … wildlife. Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) in particular can be exposed to anthropogenic noise because they … live under, and breed on, the fast ice on which humans travel.

Degradation of nonane by bacteria from Antarctic marine sediment. Polar Biology, 2004 (Ref: 12322)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract A microbial enrichment culture tolerant of … petroleum hydrocarbons was developed from sediment … collected near Casey Station, Antarctica. To select coldadapted … microbes that would degrade diesel, enrichments … were cultured at 0°C during six successive … transfers to fresh medium…

A comparison of the short term effects of diesel fuel and lubricant oils on Antarctic benthic microbial communities. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2005 (Ref: 12091)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The effects of diesel fuel and three lubricating oils on microbial communities in marine sediment were investigated in a field experiment at Casey Station, Antarctica. Sediment from a pristine site in Antarctica was treated with either Special Antarctic Blend (SAB) diesel, a synthetic lubricant…

Polar mesosphere summer echoes (PMSE) a southern hemisphere perspective. Proceedings of the 36th COSPAR Scientific Assembly, Beijing, China, 16-23 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12627)
Category 3: Abstract

The existence of Polar Mesosphere Summer Echoes (PMSE) in the Southern Hemisphere … (SH) has recently been confirmed using HF radar (Ogawa et al., 2002), MST … radar (Morris et al., 2004), and a Dynasonde (Jarvis et al., 2005) following earlier … observations using MST radar (Woodman et al., 1999).

A Cenozoic diffuse alkaline magmatic province (DAMP) in the southwest Pacific without rift or plume origin. Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems, 2005 (Ref: 12625)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Common geological, geochemical, and geophysical characteristics of continental fragments of East … Gondwana and adjacent oceanic lithosphere define a long-lived, low-volume, diffuse alkaline magmatic … province (DAMP) encompassing the easternmost part of the Indo-Australian Plate, West Antarctica…

Seismic stratigraphy of the Adare Trough area, Antarctica. Marine Geology, 2006 (Ref: 12624)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Adare Trough, located 100 km NE of Cape Adare, Antarctica, is the extinct third arm of a Tertiary spreading ridge that … separated East from West Antarctica. We use seismic reflection data, tied to DSDP Site 274…

Late Pleistocene and Holocene history of Lake Terrasovoje, Amery Oasis, East Antarctica, and its climatic and environmental implications. Journal of Paleolimnology, 2004 (Ref: 12533)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A 5.52 m long sediment sequence was recovered from Lake Terrasovoje, Amery Oasis, East Antarctica, in … order to reconstruct the regional environmental history. The basal sediments, which are dominated by … glacial and glaciofluvial clastic sediments…
