Preliminary histological analysis of Trematomus bernacchii exposed to sewage effluent from Davis Station, East Antarctica Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15559)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

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)…

The response of the ACCESS climate model to recent ozone change over Antarctica and the Southern Ocean 26th International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) General Assembly, 22 June - 2 July 2015, Prague, Czech Republic, 2015 (Ref: 15535)
Category 3: Conference paper

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.

Sensitivity and Response of Antarctic and sub-Antarctic Species to Fuel Contamination Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Asia Pacific and Australasia Conference, Adelaide, South Australia, 14-17 September 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15454)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

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…

A multidisciplinary approach to fuel spill management in Antarctica Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Australasia 3rd conference, Melbourne, Australia, 1–3 October 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15383)
Category 3: Poster

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.

Ecology and management of invasive Poa annua on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island XXXIII SCAR Biennial meeting and open science conference, Auckland, New Zealand, 25-28 August 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15506)
Category 3: Poster

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 in 2011 Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Journal, 2015 (Ref: 15514)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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…

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.
