1.Ecosystem change is predicted to become more prevalent with climate change. Widespread dieback of cushion plants and bryophytes in alpine fellfield on Macquarie Island may represent such change. Loss of the keystone endemic cushion plant, Azorella macquariensis…

Changes in microbial functional genes as indicators of soil health and their response to fuel contamination in Antarctica Thesis, Bachelor of Science with Honours, University of Tasmania, Tasmania, 2013 (Ref: 15542)
Authors:
Richardson E.L.
Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

Terrestrial fuel spills in Antarctica commonly occur on ice-free land around research stations as the result of human activities. Successful clean-up of spills not only requires appropriate remediation strategies and technologies that are effective in cold climates…

Category 3: Poster

Several fuel spills have occurred near Australia’s Antarctic stations, associated with the use of SAB diesel for power generation. This has resulted in significant petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in soils.

Springtail community response to petroleum hydrocarbons in subantarctic soils Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15544)
Authors:
Mooney T.J.King C.M.Wasley J.Raymond B.Andrew N.R.
Category 3: Poster

The Australian Antarctic Division is currently remediating fuel spills on Macquarie Island. To contribute to the development of appropriate remediation targets, the present study examines the response of springtail assemblages to Special Antarctic Blend (SAB) diesel.

Soil invertebrate community response to petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants in sub-Antarctic soils over an organic carbon gradient 13th Australasian Society for Ecotoxicology (ASE) Conference, 20-23 September 2009, Adelaide, Australia, 2009 (Ref: 15545)
