In situ observations of Antarctic sea-ice drift and deformation Argos User Meeting, 1st April 2007, Hobart, Australia, 2007 (Ref: 12887)
Authors:
Category 3: Abstract

Over the past two decades drifting sea-ice buoys have been used by the Australian Government Antarctic Division [AGAD] to observe sea-ice drift and deformation. Initial deployments often used single buoys … to resolve the large-scale characteristics of Antarctic sea-ice drift.

Hydrocarbon contamination and remediation of Antarctic ecosystems Australian Society for Microbiology Annual Scientific Meeting, Adelaide, 9-13 July 2007, 2007 (Ref: 13060)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Australia’s Antarctic territory contains several hydrocarbon-contaminated sites of varying size and severity as a result of fifty years of human activities in the region. Contaminated site remediation in Antarctica is more challenging than in Australia.

New insights into the origins of crustaceans of Antarctic lakes Antarctic Science, 2007 (Ref: 13069)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

New evidence regarding the origins of the Crustacea of Antarctic lakes is reviewed. Palaeolimnological data indicates that the cladoceran Daphniopsis studeri has been present in Lake Reid, Larsemann Hills, for over 120 000 yr.

Tardigrade eggs and exuviae in Antarctic lake sediments: insights into Holocene dynamics and origins of the fauna Journal of Limnology. Proceedings of the Tenth International Symposium on Tardigrada., 2007 (Ref: 13068)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The preservation of tardigrade eggs and exuviae in Antarctic lake sediments provided an opportunity to assess post-glacial … colonisation and Holocene tardigrade dynamics on the southern continent. Tardigrade eggs were recovered from five lakes…

Tardigrade remains from lake sediments Journal of Paleolimnology, 2007 (Ref: 13067)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Remains of tardigrades have rarely been … reported to preserve in sediments, resulting in the … absence of important ecological and biogeographic … information that they could provide. However…

A new species of Nemotoceras and characterisation of N. dienemum (Orchidaceae), both from subantarctic Macquarie Island Telopea, 2007 (Ref: 12988)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Two species of Nematoceras (Orchidaceae) from subantarctic Macquarie Island are characterised, illustrated and details of distribution and ecology are provided. Nematoceras sulcatum … M.A.Clem. et D.L.Jones…

A "bottom up" governance framework for developing Australia's marine spatial data infrastructure (SDI) Data Science Journal, 2007 (Ref: 13021)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) have been developing in some countries for over 10 years but still suffer from … having a relatively small installed base. Most SDIs will soon converge around a service-oriented-architecture (SOA)…

Estimates of Southern Rockhopper and Macaroni penguin numbers at the Ildefonso and Diego Ramirez Archipelagos, Chile, using Quadrat and distance-sampling techniques Waterbirds, 2007 (Ref: 13064)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Populations of Southern Rockhopper ( Euduptes chrysocome chrysocome … ) and Macaroni ( E. chrysolophus … ) Penguins at key breeding sites in the Southern Hemisphere have declined substantially in the past 50 years, but … their statuses at important breeding sites in southern Chile are poorly known.

Relativistic proton production during recent solar events 4th Annual Meeting, Asia Oceania Geosciences Society, Bangkok, Thailand, 31 July - 4 August 2007, 2007 (Ref: 13051)
Category 3: Abstract

On 20 January 2005 the sun produced the highest intensity of relativistic … solar particles observed at Earth in 50 years. The sea-level increase at Terre Adelie … (~46 X in 1 minute data) was slightly less than in 1956 (Leeds ~47 X in 15 minute … data).

The potential of blue-dyed bait to reduce seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels. Third Meeting of Advisory Committee, Valdivia, Chile 19-22 June 2007, 2007 (Ref: 13014)
Category 2: International meeting papers

Blue-dyed bait is a seabird bycatch mitigation technique which is assumed to reduce the … contrast between the bait and the ocean background making baits visually cryptic to seabirds. We tested this assumption in two ways. First, using measured spectral profiles of blue-dyed … baits (fish and squid)…

An auroral westward flow channel (AWFC) and its relationship to field-aligned current, ring current, and plasmapause location determined using multiple spacecraft observations Annales Geophysicae, 2007 (Ref: 13043)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract. An auroral westward flow channel (AWFC) is … a latitudinally narrow channel of unstable F-region plasma … with intense westward drift in the dusk-to-midnight sector … ionosphere. AWFCs tend to overlap the equatorward edge of … the auroral oval…

Paradigm misplaced? Antarctic marine ecosystems are affected by climate change as well as biological processes and harvesting Antarctic Science, 2007 (Ref: 13045)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A recent review by Ainley et al. has suggested that recent investigations of the ecological structure … and processes of the Southern Ocean have “almost exclusively taken a bottom-up, forcing-by-physicalprocesses … approach relating individual species’ population trends to climate change”.

Non-migrating tides above Antarctica and their variation on short and long time scales IUGG XXIV 2007, Perugia, Italy July 2-13, 2007, 2007 (Ref: 13001)
Authors:
Category 3: Abstract

A high-latitude tide basis function that describes the major migratingand non-migrating components of the semidiurnal and … diurnal tide can be fitted to wind data using linear least-squares fitting techniques. MF radars at Davis (695, 78E), Syowa (695, 40E), Rothera (685, 68W) and Scott Base (785…
