A comparison of the short term effects of diesel fuel and lubricant oils on Antarctic benthic microbial communities. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2005 (Ref: 12091)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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…

From observation to effect: integrated approaches to monitoring and assessment in marine ecosystems in Antarctica, an overview from Casey Station Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12506)
Category 3: Poster

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…

Monitoring during the remediation of Thala Valley waste disposal site at Casey Station, Antarctica: Informing the process and assessing ecological impacts. Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12507)
Category 3: Abstract

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.

Location and DGGE methodology can influence interpretation of field experimental studies on the response to hydrocarbons by Antarctic benthic microbial community. Antarctic Science, 2005 (Ref: 12147)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A field experiment investigating the effect of oil contamination on benthic microbial communities was conducted near Casey Station, East Antarctica.

Benthic diatom communities as indicators of anthropogenic metal contamination at Casey Station, Antarctica Journal of Paleolimnology, 2005 (Ref: 11938)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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…

Temporal and spatial distribution of chlorophyll-a in surface waters of the Scotia Sea as determined by both shipboard measurements and satellite data. Deep-Sea Research II, 2004 (Ref: 12388)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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.
