Radiocarbon bomb spike reveals biological effects of Antarctic climate change. Global Change Biology, 2012 (Ref: 14681)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Antarctic has experienced major changes in temperature, wind speed and stratospheric ozone levels during the last 50 years. However until recently continental Antarctica appeared to be little impacted by climate warming, thus biological changes were predicted to be relatively slow.

Implementing the tissue residue approach for a key Antarctic species - Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Europe 21st Annual Meeting, Milan, Italy, 15-19 May 2011, 2011 (Ref: 14678)
Category 3: Poster

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are well known to accumulate in polar food webs; yet there is little ecotoxicological data available for environmental risk assessment of POPs in these extreme ecosystems. The premise of the tissue residue approach (TRA)…

Collembola community response to petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants in sub-Antarctic soils over an organic carbon gradient Ecological Society of Australia 2011 annual meeting: 'Ecology in Changing Landscapes'. Hobart, Australia, 21-25 November 2011, 2011 (Ref: 15546)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

A series of fuel spills (diesels and lubricating oils) have occurred on Macquarie Island associated with fuel storage and power generation for the Island’s research station. The Australian Antarctic Division is currently remediating these sites.

The Coastal Zooplankton Community of Davis Station, East Antarctica, and its response to Diesel Fuel Pollution Third Australian National Network in Marine Science Conference: Marine science in tropical, temperate and southern oceans, Perth, Australia, 29 November–1 December 2011, 2011 (Ref: 15369)
Category 3: Poster

Zooplankton species are an important component of the Antarctic coastal ecosystem. The strongly seasonal sea ice cover and phytoplankton availability has driven a modification in the life cycles of many Antarctic zooplankton species. In general only one cycle is completed each year.

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…

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)…
