During the 2009/2010 summer field season a comprehensive environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the sewage discharge at Davis Station, East Antarctica was conducted. As part of this EIA, a preliminary histopathological survey of the gills and liver in the emerald rock cod (Trematomus bernacchii)…
Two sets of historical 3-ensemble simulations have been obtained with versions 1.0 and 1.3 of the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS) to examine the effects of ozone change since 1960.
Fuel spills have occurred in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions, and comprehensive remediation strategies have recently been established to clean-up fuel spills at Australia’s Casey Station and Macquarie Island. However…
Environmental pollution resulting from fuel spills in Antarctic waters is increasingly likely with the rise in shipping associated with tourism and research activities, both of which require and transport large quantities of fuel.
Poa annua is the most widespread alien species in the sub-Antarctic, occurring on all major island groups and is invasive and spreading on the Antarctic Peninsula. P. annua colonises areas disturbed by human activity, seal wallows, penguin rookeries and glacial moraines.
The Antarctic ozone hole of 2011 is reviewed from a variety of perspectives, making … use of various data and analyses. The ozone hole of 2011 was relatively large … in terms of maximum area, minimum ozone level and total ozone deficit…
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.
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.
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.
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…
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.
