Marine soft-sediment assemblages were sampled from shallow (5 - 35m) nearshore regions around Casey Station, Windmill Islands, East Antarctica in winter 1998, using a van-Veen... -
Chemistry data from the Environmental Impact Assessment of the Davis Sewage Outfall
Untreated, macerated wastewater effluent has been discharged to the sea at Davis Station since 2005, when the old wastewater treatment infrastructure was removed. This... -
CEAMARC-CASO Benthic Trawl Samples - voyage 3 of the Aurora Australis, 2007-2008
Sampling strategy: Samples from trawls or sledges are sieved on the trawl deck then sorted in the wet lab per taxonomic group. Sorting may vary from high taxonomic levels... -
SRE4 Effects of hydrocarbons on Antarctic Marine Sediment Ecosystems - SRE4_Microbial
