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.

Effects of salinity and temperature on fertilisation and early development of the Antarctic urchin Sterechinus neumayeri Master of Antarctic Science Thesis, Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, Australia, 2011 (Ref: 15328)
Authors:
Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

This study presents the first examination of the effect of both temperature and salinity on fertilisation and development in an Antarctic echinoderm. Previous studies on Antarctic species have not investigated the combined effects of temperature and salinity, focusing on only single factor studies…

Changing ENSO influences on the QBO Stratosphere-troposphere Processes and their Role in Climate (SPARC) 2014 General Assembly, Queenstown, New Zealand, 12-17 January 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15298)
Category 3: Poster

It has been shown by Taguchi (2010) that QBO periods were longer and … amplitudes larger during periods of La Niña than during periods of El Niño during … the period 1953-2008. Garfinkel and Hartmann (2007)…

Decadal-scale variability in the meridional circulation of Upper Circumpolar Deep Water and its impact on primary production in the Southern Ocean. PhD Thesis, Griffith University, Australia, 2011 (Ref: 14498)
Authors:
Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

The Southern Ocean is vitally important in understanding climate change, both regionally and globally, due to factors such as the presence of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, seasonal sea-ice and strong Southern Hemisphere westerly winds. Also, the upper branch of the Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW)…

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…

Phytoremediation of hydrocarbon contaminants in sub-Antarctic soils 13th Australasian Society for Ecotoxicology (ASE) Conference, Adelaide, SA, 20-23 September 2009, 2009 (Ref: 15325)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

In response to several fuel spills on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island associated with research station operations, the Australian Antarctic Division has initiated a 5-10 year plan to remediate the island’s contaminated sites using low cost in-situ techniques.

Long-term trends in the population size and breeding success of emperor penguins at the Taylor Glacier colony, Antarctica. Polar Biology, 2014 (Ref: 15154)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The population size of emperor penguins at the land-based Taylor Glacier colony was monitored over 54 years from 1957 to 2010 by intermittent ground counts from 1957 to 1975 and annual photographic counts from 1988 to 2010 of males attending the colony in winter and chicks in early summer.

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…

Blue whale vocalizations recorded around New Zealand: 1964-2013. Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2014 (Ref: 15256)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Previous underwater recordings made in New Zealand have identified a complex sequence of low frequency sounds that have been attributed to blue whales based on similarity to blue whale songs in other areas.

Infrared and sub-millimetre observing conditions on the Antarctic plateau Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2000 (Ref: 9616)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Antarctic plateau provides the best terrestrial sites for infrared and sub-millimetre astronomy. In this paper we examine the relative importance of temperature…

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.

A Sealers Midden Provides Evidence a Live Pig (Sus scrofa) was Taken Ashore at Heard Island During the "Elephanting" Industry (1855–1882). Journal of Maritime Archaeology, 2012 (Ref: 14716)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Livestock was often released onto remote Southern Ocean islands as a food source for shipwreck survivors during the industrial whaling and sealing era. Although animals were put ashore at nearby Isles Kerguelen and Crozet…
