The CSIRO-BoM-AAD Antarctic and Southern Ocean Atmospheric Composition Monitoring Network Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15569)
Category 3: Poster

Gases released by human activity (greenhouse and ozone depleting gases) are responsible for global change. They are long-lived and well-mixed in the atmosphere. The Antarctic regions, remote from industrial and land plant activity are ideally located to measure global changes in the gases.

Easy come, easy go: capillary forces enable rapid refilling of embolized primary xylem vessels Plant Physiology, 2015 (Ref: 15566)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Protoxylem plays an important role in the hydraulic function of vascular systems of both herbaceous and woody plants, but relatively little is known about the processes underlying maintenance of protoxylem function in long-lived tissues. In the present study…

Reproduction, growth and early life history of the Antarctic gammarid amphipod Paramoera walkeri Polar Biology, 2015 (Ref: 15567)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The gammarid Paramoera walkeri is one of the most abundant amphipods in near-shore Antarctic waters. There has been increasing interest in P. walkeri as a test species for ecotoxicology studies and bio-monitoring for contaminants in Antarctica…

Sensitivity of the Antarctic amphipod Paramoera walkeri to diesel and fuel oil: Lethal and behavioural impacts Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15568)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

One of the serious threats to the Antarctic marine ecosystem is the release of large volumes of petroleum fuel. Numerous fuel spill incidents have occurred and risks of a major spill are increasing due to continued expansion of human activity in the Antarctic region.
