The Use of Microbial Gene Abundance in the Development of Fuel Remediation Guidelines in Polar Soils Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, 2014 (Ref: 15472)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Terrestrial fuel spills in Antarctica commonly occur on ice?free land around research stations as the result of human activities. Successful spill clean?ups require appropriate targets that confirm contaminated sites are no longer likely to pose environmental risk following remediation.

Development of soil remediation guidelines for Macquarie island: sensitivity assessment of germination in native subantarctic flora Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15453)
Category 3: Poster

Special Antarctic Blend (SAB) is a light end diesel fuel, comprised mainly of petroleum hydrocarbons (alkanes nC9-C14, trace levels of nC15-23). It is used as the main source for power generation at Australia’s Research Stations in Antarctica and the subantarctic, including Macquarie Island.

Modelling interval-censored survival times in toxicological studies using generalized additive models The International Biometric Society Australasian Region Conference 2013, Mandurah, Australia, 1-5 December 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15455)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

A method for combining a proportional-hazards survival time model with a bioassay model where the log-hazard function is modelled as a linear function of log-concentration combined with a cubic smoothing spline function of time is described.

Development of appropriate bioassay and statistical methods for determining survival sensitivities of Antarctic marine biota to metal exposure 2nd Society for Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Australasia Conference, Brisbane, Australia, 4-6 July 2012, 2012 (Ref: 15456)
Category 3: Poster

Chemical contamination resulting from human activities has been identified in … nearshore marine environments in the vicinity of Antarctic Research Stations. To better … manage and remediate contaminated sites, and to assess the risks of ongoing activities…

Development of appropriate bioassay and statistical methods for determining survival sensitivities of Antarctic marine biota to metal exposure Society for Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) World Congress, Berlin, Germany, 20-24 May 2012, 2012 (Ref: 15457)
Category 3: Poster

Developing water quality guidelines for Antarctic marine environments requires understanding sensitivity of biota to contaminant exposure. Toxicity tests with Antarctic … invertebrates have shown response times to metal exposure takes far longer than the durations of standard bioassay methods.

Sensitivities and response time of three Antarctic marine copepods to metal exposure AMSA-NZMSS 2012 Conference, Hobart, Australia, 1-5 July 2012, 2012 (Ref: 15364)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

As zooplankton is an important food source for consumers, and a major source of recruits to the benthic community, impacts on sensitive zooplankton communities have the potential to significantly alter nearshore marine ecosystems in Antarctica.

Sensitivities and response time of three Antarctic marine copepods to metal exposure 2nd Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC)-Australasia Conference, Brisbane, Australia, 4-6 July 2012, 2012 (Ref: 15365)
Category 3: Poster

Understanding the sensitivity of Antarctic organisms to metal exposure is essential … for developing Antarctic specific Environmental Guidelines to manage contamination risks. For … the first time…

Temporal changes in the coastal zooplankton community off Davis Station, East Antarctica, and its response to diesel fuel contamination 2nd Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC)-Australasia Conference, Brisbane, Australia, 4-6 July 2012, 2012 (Ref: 15368)
Category 3: Poster

As zooplankton is an important food source for consumers, and a major source of … recruits to the benthic community, impacts on sensitive zooplankton communities have the … potential to significantly alter nearshore marine ecosystems in Antarctica.

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.

Estimating relative abundance of whales from historical Antarctic whaling records. Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2014 (Ref: 15167)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Catch per unit effort (CPUE) is often the only data available from historical fisheries for inferring distribution and abundance of exploited populations. CPUE underestimates variations in relative abundance when gross effort data are only measured in total operating days.

Emperors in Hiding: When Ice-Breakers and Satellites Complement Each Other in Antarctic Exploration PLoS ONE, 2014 (Ref: 15294)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Evaluating the demographic trends of marine top predators is critical to understanding the processes involved in the ongoing rapid changes in Antarctic ecosystems. However, the remoteness and logistical complexity of operating in … Antarctica, especially during winter…

Emperor Penguins Breeding on Iceshelves PLoS ONE, 2014 (Ref: 15295)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We describe a new breeding behaviour discovered in emperor penguins; utilizing satellite and aerial-survey observations four emperor penguin breeding colonies have been recorded as existing on ice-shelves. Emperors have previously been considered as a sea-ice obligate species…

A nonparametric model of empirical length distributions to inform stratification of fishing effort for integrated assessments. Fisheries Research, 2014 (Ref: 15255)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Length frequency data (LFD) are an important input to integrated stock assessments, and statistical tests for variables that significantly influence the length distribution of fish can assist in the definition of effort strata, typically denoted as fisheries or sub-fisheries…

Ice core proxy of Antarctic sea-ice extent. International Symposium on Sea Ice in a Changing Environment, Hobart, Australia, 10-14 March 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15226)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Prior to the satellite era, ice core records have been used as a proxy for past sea-ice extent in Antarctica. This information is important for investigating long-term trends in sea-ice coverage.

On the regional distinctions in annual cycle of total ozone in the northern midlatitudes. Remote Sensing Letters, 2014 (Ref: 15192)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

To better attribute the total ozone column (TOC) anomalies observed from the ozone … measurements in Ukraine, the climatologies of annual ozone cycle along the latitudinal … band 40–60° N with the 30° step in longitude have been analysed.
