Can remote sensing be used to map and monitor vegetation on subantarctic islands? 12th Australasian Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Conference, Fremantle, Western Australia, 18-22 October 2004., 2004 (Ref: 11709)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Subantarctic islands contain some of the most remote and least disturbed wilderness regions of the world. Despite best efforts at conservation…

Ambient UV radiation levels negatively affect the endemic Antarctic moss, Grimmia antarctici. Abstracts from the International Botanical Congress, Vienna, July 2005, 2005 (Ref: 12327)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Over recent decades, Antarctic plants have been exposed to the … largest relative increase in UV-B exposure as a result of ozone … depletion. Open-sided plexiglass screens were used to reduce UV … levels by 77% over turves of the endemic Antarctic bryophyte, Grimmia antarctici…

The feasibility of using remote sensing to map and monitor vegetation change on sub-Antarctic Heard Island. Thesis, B.Sc. (Honours), University of Wollongong, 2005 (Ref: 12329)
Authors:
Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

This study represents the first investigation into the feasibility of using remote sensing to map and monitor the vegetation of sub-Antarctic islands. There have previously been no studies using satellite technology to remotely sense vegetation change in the Antarctic or sub-Antarctic regions…

Investigation of evaporation and biodegradation of fuel spills in Antarctica: I - a chemical approach using GC-FID Chemosphere, 2005 (Ref: 12320)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract … Little effort has been devoted to differentiating between hydrocarbon losses through evaporation and biodegradation … in treatability studies of fuel-contaminated Antarctic soils. When natural attenuation is being considered as a treatment … option…

The Southern Hemisphere westerlies in the Australasian sector over the last glacial cycle: a synthesis. Quaternary International, 2004 (Ref: 12317)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Southern Hemisphere westerlies in the southwest Pacific are known to have waxed and waned numerous times during the last … two glacial cycles, though even semi-continuous histories of the westerlies extend back no more than about 20,000 years.

First measurements of the infrared sky brightness at Dome C, Antarctica. Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2005 (Ref: 12302)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Dome C, Antarctica (75 S, 123 E; 3250 meters) is one of the coldest and driestlocations on Earth, with exceptionally low winds throughout the atmosphere. It therefore has the potential to be an ideal site for astronomical observations.
