Micro-organisms are an important part of the Antarctic ecosystem contributing to the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients.
The effects of diesel fuel and three lubricating oils on microbial communities in marine sediment were investigated in a field experiment at Casey Station, Antarctica. Sediment from a pristine site in Antarctica was treated with either Special Antarctic Blend (SAB) diesel, a synthetic lubricant…
Monitoring includes both targeted studies designed to verify the predicted effects of specific … activities and more exploratory studies designed to detect “unknown” or unpredicted impacts. In the marine environment monitoring typically begins with an empirical experiment or survey…
In the Antarctic summer of 2003/04 Australia began the remediation of an abandoned waste … disposal site at Casey Station, East Antarctica. Waste material and contaminated soil were … removed via excavation and returned to Australia for appropriate treatment and disposal.
A field experiment investigating the effect of oil contamination on benthic microbial communities was conducted near Casey Station, East Antarctica.
Prior to environmental legislation in the 1980s, anthropogenic waste in Antarctica was often deposited into … landfill sites or into the sea. This resulted in metal contamination in terrestrial and near-shore marine … environments. In this study…
During January and February 2000 four research vessels, from Russia, the UK, Japan, and the United States…
Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentrations in surface waters were measured at 137 hydrographic stations occupied by four … research vessels participating in the CCAMLR 2000 Survey and the values were compared to estimates from data … acquired by the SeaWiFS satellite.
