Polyhydroxyalkanoate production by Antarctic soil bacteria isolated from Casey Station and Signy Island. Microbiological Research, 2012 (Ref: 14826)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a family of biopolymers produced by some bacteria and is accumulated intracellularly as carbon and energy storage material. Fifteen PHA-producing bacterial strains were identified from bacteria isolated from Antarctic soils collected around Casey Station (66°17'S…

Covariation of sea ice and methanesulphonic acid in Wilhelm II Land, East Antarctica. Annals of Glaciology, 2006 (Ref: 12844)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Sea ice plays an important role in ocean–atmosphere heat exchange, global albedo and the marine ecosystem. Knowledge of variation in sea-ice extent is essential in order to understand past climates, and to model possible future climate scenarios.

Horizontal momentum fluxes associated with tides in the MLT over Antarctica. 38th COSPAR Scientific Assembly, Bremen, Germany, 18-25 July 2010, 2010 (Ref: 14287)
Category 3: Poster

A consequence of the wave-number rich tidal activity that has been observed in the southern polar MLT is that the horizontal flux of horizontal momentum (u'v') is likely to be non-zero. This quantity is affected by the phase angle between the zonal and meridional wind perturbations.

Abandoned Antarctic waste disposal sites: Monitoring remediation outcomes and limitations at Casey Station. Ecological Management & Restoration, 2006 (Ref: 12287)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abandoned work sites, disposal sites, hazardous waste and untreated fuel spills in Antarctica have … recently begun to receive significant attention. A profile of the clean-up at Casey waste disposal site demonstrates a suite of cultural, social…

Impacts of local human activities on the Antarctic environment Antarctic Science, 2009 (Ref: 13609)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We review the scientific literature, especially from the past decade, on the impacts of human … activities on the Antarctic environment. A range of impacts has been identified at a variety of spatial and … temporal scales.

Lead isotopic signatures in Antarctic marine sediment cores: A comparison between 1 M HC1 partial extraction and HF total digestion pre-treatments for discerning anthropogenic inputs Science of the Total Environment, 2009 (Ref: 13927)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Sensitive analytical techniques are typically required when dealing with samples from Antarctica as even … low concentrations of contaminants can have detrimental environmental effects. Magnetic Sector ICP-MS is … an ideal technique for environmental assessment as it offers high sensitivity…
