Expanded role for gravity wave parameterization in WACCM 26th International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) Conference, Prague, Czech Republic, 22 June-2 July 2015, 2015 (Ref: 15726)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

The parameterization of gravity waves in the NCAR Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) includes orographic, convective, and frontal sources. Even with these, the model simulates temperatures in the Antarctic lower stratosphere during winter and spring that are much lower than observed.

Application of a Histopathology Fish Health Index as a Biomarker of Pollution Effect in East Antarctica 18th International Symposium on Pollutant Responses In Marine Organisms (PRIMO 18), Trondheim, Norway, 24-27 May 2015, 2015 (Ref: 15557)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Current interpretation of histological alteration in fish as an indicator of contaminant impact is subjective. Generally severity of alteration is poorly described, and does not allow direct comparison between studies. A histological health index (HHI) modified from Bernet et al (1999)…

The Antarctic Ozone Hole in 2012 Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Journal, 2015 (Ref: 15515)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We review the 2012 Antarctic ozone hole, making use of various meteorological … reanalyses, remotely sensed ozone measurements and ground-based measurements … of ultra-violet radiation. Based on analysis of 33 years of satellite records…

Easy come, easy go: capillary forces enable rapid refilling of embolized primary xylem vessels Plant Physiology, 2015 (Ref: 15566)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Protoxylem plays an important role in the hydraulic function of vascular systems of both herbaceous and woody plants, but relatively little is known about the processes underlying maintenance of protoxylem function in long-lived tissues. In the present study…

Reproduction, growth and early life history of the Antarctic gammarid amphipod Paramoera walkeri Polar Biology, 2015 (Ref: 15567)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The gammarid Paramoera walkeri is one of the most abundant amphipods in near-shore Antarctic waters. There has been increasing interest in P. walkeri as a test species for ecotoxicology studies and bio-monitoring for contaminants in Antarctica…

Modelling grouped survival times in toxicological studies using Generalized Additive Models Environmental and Ecological Statistics, 2015 (Ref: 15541)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A method for combining a proportional-hazards survival time model with a bioassay model where the log-hazard function is modelled as a linear or smoothing spline function of log-concentration combined with a smoothing spline function of time is described.

Changes in microbial functional genes as indicators of soil health and their response to fuel contamination in Antarctica Thesis, Bachelor of Science with Honours, University of Tasmania, Tasmania, 2013 (Ref: 15542)
Authors:
Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

Terrestrial fuel spills in Antarctica commonly occur on ice-free land around research stations as the result of human activities. Successful clean-up of spills not only requires appropriate remediation strategies and technologies that are effective in cold climates…

Microbes as indicators of soil health in Antarctica Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15543)
Category 3: Poster

Several fuel spills have occurred near Australia’s Antarctic stations, associated with the use of SAB diesel for power generation. This has resulted in significant petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in soils.

Springtail community response to petroleum hydrocarbons in subantarctic soils Strategic Science in Antarctica Conference, Hobart, Australia, 24-26 June 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15544)
Category 3: Poster

The Australian Antarctic Division is currently remediating fuel spills on Macquarie Island. To contribute to the development of appropriate remediation targets, the present study examines the response of springtail assemblages to Special Antarctic Blend (SAB) diesel.

Soil invertebrate community response to petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants in sub-Antarctic soils over an organic carbon gradient 13th Australasian Society for Ecotoxicology (ASE) Conference, 20-23 September 2009, Adelaide, Australia, 2009 (Ref: 15545)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

There have been a number of fuel spills (diesels and lubricating oils) on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island associated with fuel storage and power generation for the island’s research station. The Australian Antarctic Division is currently working to remediate these sites over the next 5-10 years.

Collembola community response to petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants in sub-Antarctic soils over an organic carbon gradient Ecological Society of Australia 2011 annual meeting: 'Ecology in Changing Landscapes'. Hobart, Australia, 21-25 November 2011, 2011 (Ref: 15546)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

A series of fuel spills (diesels and lubricating oils) have occurred on Macquarie Island associated with fuel storage and power generation for the Island’s research station. The Australian Antarctic Division is currently remediating these sites.

Development of a Histopathology Fish Health Index as a Biomarker of Pollution Effect in East Antarctica Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Asia Pacific and Australasia Conference, Adelaide, South Australia, 14-17 September 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15558)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Current interpretation of histological alteration in fish as an indicator of contaminant impact is subjective. Generally severity of alteration is poorly described, and does not allow direct comparison between studies. A histological health index (HHI) modified from Bernet et al (1999)…

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…

Management of invasive Poa annua in the sub-Antarctic wilderness of Macquarie Island. 19th Australasian Weeds Conference, Hobart, Australia, 1-4 September 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15507)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Poa annua L. is the most widespread weed in the sub-Antarctic, present on all major island groups and on the Antarctic Peninsula. Its ability to withstand heavy grazing has enabled it to spread significantly on islands with introduced herbivores.
