Co- variation in soil biodiversity and biogeochemistry in northern and southern Victoria Land, Antarctica
(Cambridge University Press, 2006)Data from six sites in Victoria Land (72–77°S) investigating co-variation in soil communities (microbial and invertebrate) with biogeochemical properties showthe influence of soil properties on habitat suitability varied ... -
Effects of hydrocarbon spills on the temperature and moisture regimes of Cryosols in the Ross Sea region
(Antarctic Science Ltd, 2002)Hydrocarbon spills have occurred on Antarctic soils where fuel oils are utilized, moved or stored. We investigated the effects of hydrocarbon spills on soil temperature and moisture regimes by comparing the properties of ... -
Environmental pollutants from the Scott and Shackleton expeditions during the ‘Heroic Age’ of Antarctic exploration
(Cambridge University Press, 2004)Early explorers to Antarctica built wooden huts and brought huge quantities of supplies and equipment to support their geographical and scientific studies for several years. When the expeditions ended and relief ships ... -
Groundwater characteristics at Seabee Hook, Cape Hallett, Antarctica
(Cambridge University Press, 2006)Seabee Hook is a low lying gravel spit adjacent to Cape Hallett, northern Victoria Land, in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica and hosts an Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) rookery. Dipwells were inserted to monitor ... -
Hexadecane mineralization activity in hydrocarbon-contaminated soils of Ross Sea region Antarctica may require nutrients and inoculation
(Elsevier, 2012-02)Hydrocarbon spills on Antarctic soils occur mainly near settlements where fuel is stored and aircraft and vehicles are refuelled. To investigate those factors that may preclude hexadecane mineralization activity in long-term ...

The fate and effects of JP-5 fuel in Antarctic soil: A controlled experiment at Scott Base, Antarctica
(The University of Waikato, 2002)Hydrocarbon contamination of Antarctic soils is evident in limited areas where accidental fuel spills have occurred, usually near scientific bases or field camps. To understand the short-term fate and effects of fuel spills ... -
Biotreatability studies of oil-contaminated soils from Antarctica
(The University of Waikato, 2005)Human activity in Antarctica has resulted in accidental fuel spills on soils. These are broadly damaging to the Antarctic ecosystem, and expensive to clean up completely by physical removal, therefore, alternative remediation ... -
Characterisation of Hydrocarbon Degrading Antarctic Pseudomonas species
(University of Waikato, 1999)Hydrocarbon contamination of Antarctica poses a threat to the unique and fragile ecosystems of this continent. Bioremediation, utilising indigenous hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, has been proposed as an environmentally ...
