A field trial of in situ chemical oxidation to remediate long-term diesel contaminated Antarctic soil Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2004 (Ref: 11824)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

In situ chemical oxidation (ICO) has been identified as a potential technology for the remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated sites in Antarctica.

Comparisons between surface, barotropic and abyssal flows during the passage of a warm-core ring Aust. J. Mar. Freshwater Res, 1988 (Ref: 13175)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A comparison is made of results for barotropic, surface and abyssal flows during the formation and … passage of a warm-core ring in the East Australian Current. The barotropic velocities are estimated from … sea-floor measurements of the horizontal electric field, which is induced by water motion.

Effect of temperature on the microbial ecology of a hydrocarbon-contaminated Antarctic soil: Implications for high temperature remediation Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2008 (Ref: 13392)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A series of nutrient-amended microcosms was used to investigate changing microbial communities during biodegradation in … hydrocarbon-contaminated Antarctic soils at 4, 10 and 42 °C. Although sample heterogeneity resulted in no statistically significant … reduction in total petroleum hydrocarbons…

Determining the extent of weathering of spilled fuel in contaminated soil using the diastereomers of pristane and phytane Organic Geochemistry, 2007 (Ref: 13313)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A method is described for determining the relative extent of weathering in moderately biodegraded, hydrocarboncontaminated … soils from Antarctica. Plotting the pristane diastereomer ratio (PrDR) vs. pristane/phytane (Pr/Ph) allows … the relative extent of weathering…

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.

Determining the extent of biodegradation of fuels using diastereomers of acrylic isoprenoids Environmental Science and Technology, 2007 (Ref: 12933)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Improved testing and remediation procedures for sites … contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons are a priority … in remote cold regions such as Antarctica, where costs are … higher and remediation times are longer.

Petroleum-hydrocarbon contamination and remediation by microbioventing at sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2007 (Ref: 12930)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Natural attenuation of petroleum hydrocarbons in polar and subpolar soils is limited by low nutrients, low temperatures, and … water availability.

Nitrogen requirements for maximising petroleum bioremediation in a sub-Antarctic soil Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2007 (Ref: 12853)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Many contaminated cold region soils are deficient in nitrogen, and addition of the proper amount of this nutrient can increase the biodegradation rate. However…
