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.

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.

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:
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…

Microbes as indicators of soil health in Antarctica Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15543)
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)
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.

Preliminary histological analysis of Trematomus bernacchii exposed to sewage effluent from Davis Station, East Antarctica Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15559)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

During the 2009/2010 summer field season a comprehensive environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the sewage discharge at Davis Station, East Antarctica was conducted. As part of this EIA, a preliminary histopathological survey of the gills and liver in the emerald rock cod (Trematomus bernacchii)…

GPS Radio Occultation for studying the Antarctic Atmosphere and Climate Analysis Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15552)
Category 3: Poster

This presentation introduces a recently awarded Australian Antarctic Science (AAS) project as part of the research theme 1 'Climate Processes and Change'. This project utilises the technique of Global Positioning System (GPS) Radio Occultation (RO)…

A multidisciplinary approach to fuel spill management in Antarctica Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Australasia 3rd conference, Melbourne, Australia, 1–3 October 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15383)
Category 3: Poster

Environmental pollution resulting from fuel spills in Antarctic waters is increasingly likely with the rise in shipping associated with tourism and research activities, both of which require and transport large quantities of fuel.

Assessing the toxicity of dispersed and weathered fuels on Antarctic marine invertebrates Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15384)
Category 3: Poster

Fuel spills in Antarctic waters are increasingly likely with the rise in shipping in the region related to tourism and research activities, both of which require and transport large quantities of fuel. While fuel dispersants are not currently used in the management of fuel spills in Antarctica…
