Category 3: Verbal presentation

An increase in high latitude human activities has resulted in an increased incidence of petroleum hydrocarbon spills in these areas. While a substantial body of research exists on remediation techniques for such contamination in warmer climes…

Increased sensitivity to contaminants and risk to subantarctic marine invertebrates under predicted climate change scenarios Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research (IMBER) Open Science Conference, Bergen, Norway, 23-27 June 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15386)
Category 3: Poster

Stressors associated with climate change, and contaminants resulting from the activities of humans, are affecting organisms and ecosystems worldwide. Until recently, the impacts of these stressors on marine ecosystems have largely been examined in isolation. However, with predicted climate change…
