Physico-chemical changes in metal-spiked sediments deployed in the field: Implications for the interpretation of in situ studies Chemosphere, 2011 (Ref: 15327)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Manipulative field studies are useful for investigating cause–effect relationships between contamination and benthic community health. However…

Effects of salinity and temperature on fertilisation and early development of the Antarctic urchin Sterechinus neumayeri Master of Antarctic Science Thesis, Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, Australia, 2011 (Ref: 15328)
Authors:
Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

This study presents the first examination of the effect of both temperature and salinity on fertilisation and development in an Antarctic echinoderm. Previous studies on Antarctic species have not investigated the combined effects of temperature and salinity, focusing on only single factor studies…

Category 3: Poster

It has been shown by Taguchi (2010) that QBO periods were longer and … amplitudes larger during periods of La Niña than during periods of El Niño during … the period 1953-2008. Garfinkel and Hartmann (2007)…

Decadal-scale variability in the meridional circulation of Upper Circumpolar Deep Water and its impact on primary production in the Southern Ocean. PhD Thesis, Griffith University, Australia, 2011 (Ref: 14498)
Authors:
Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

The Southern Ocean is vitally important in understanding climate change, both regionally and globally, due to factors such as the presence of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, seasonal sea-ice and strong Southern Hemisphere westerly winds. Also, the upper branch of the Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW)…

Toxicity of diesel contaminated soils to the subantarctic earthworm Microscolex macquariensis Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2013 (Ref: 15299)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Several fuel spills have occurred on subantarctic Macquarie Island (548300 S 1588570 E) associated with storing fuel and … generating power for the island’s research station. The Australian Antarctic Division began full-scale, on-site remediation of these sites … in 2009.
