Full description

Petroleum contamination poses a major threat to Antarctic and subantarctic ecosystems because these products are persistent and potentially toxic in the environment. Natural attenuation in Antarctica is very slow (decades or longer), thus intervention is required if environmental damage from spills is to be reduced or prevented. In temperate regions a variety of remediation schemes are commonly used to clean up petroleum spills. However, such schemes require research and modification to be effective in the colder Antarctic and subantarctic environments. This project is designed to provide such research and development to remediate contaminated sites in cold regions cost effectively.

The files linked to this metadata record are remediation reports written for the 2007, 2008 and 2009 seasons. Some supporting figures are also provided.
