Authors:

Holan J.King C.K.Davis A.

Stressors associated with global climate change and local human activities are affecting marine organisms worldwide. Stressors include changes in temperature, salinity and acidification, in addition to contaminants including metals and hydrocarbons.

Mixed Metal Combinations Increase Toxicity in Antarctic Marine Benthic Copepods Master of Antarctic Science Thesis, University of Tasmania, Australia, 2013 (Ref: 15390)

Authors:

Barnes C.

Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

Metals at contaminated sites in Antarctica rarely occur in isolation, but rather occur in complex mixtures with a number of contaminants. Despite this, the majority of previous ecotoxicological studies on Antarctic marine biota have investigated the toxicity of single metals only.

Authors:

Aitkenhead I.J.

Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

Sewage discharge into near-shore marine ecosystems is one of the most common forms of contamination that occurs in Antarctica today, and is likely to impact on the biota living in these habitats. In this study the morphological responses of four species of Abatus heart urchins (A. philippii, A.
