Thanks to our Danish colleagues for the invitation to share ideas for the remediation of oil spill sites in Greenland and Antarctica, and the tour of beautiful Frederiksberg Castle! #acleanerAntarctica #bioremediation @AusAntarctic

Check out this great youtube presentation on Antarctic #biodiversity, #contamination and #ACleanerAntarctica by my friend and colleague Dr Catherine King. We've got some plans...stay tuned
Want to understand more about #contamination issues in #Antarctica? We are leading research for a #CleanerAntarctica 🇦🇶 @AusAntarctic to understand how best to protect Antarctica’s unique #biodiversity💧🐻 🦠 🪱 Check it out👇and stay tuned youtu.be/EIN30dHikQU

The future is looking bright for protection of the Antarctic environment. Big kudos to every scientist, engineer, policy maker and expeditioner who’s work, over many many years, has led to this great announcement for #ACleanerAntarctica
Another successful science season completed at Casey Station #Antarctica! @AusAntarctic. Looking forward to delivering the critical new marine and climate science #CleanUpAntarctica announced by @envirogov today tinyurl.com/4bfk45up

Putting a hockey stick out in remembrance of a kind and courageous boy. Rest In Peace Clark. Love from your friends in Australia. (Deirdre and family) #sticksoutforclark
Congrats Eden, Angelique, Kate and @ferrari_belinda of the ferrarilab.org @UNSWScience. A key collaborative partner with @AusAntarctic for #AntarcticRemediation
Replying to @AntarcticSF
Many thanks to the @TasPolarNetwork and Dick and Pip Smith Foundation for their generous donations, which enabled us to increase the number of students that we could support!

“I promise you, there are no projects in Antarctica where the equipment works perfectly” Anyone have any great “MacGyver” type quick fix stories for equipment in the field? nytimes.com/2020/05/02/scien…

When the whole is greater than the sum of its parts...Working on what we do and where we do it takes highly skilled & diverse teams - scientists, engineers, trades and personnel from Australia and beyond. Chapeau 🎩 @AusAntarctic @ferrari_belinda @unimelb @queensu @Reichman_Lab

The Brazilian govt. has granted R$ 2M (≈ US$ 533K) to equip scientific labs on the new Ferraz station, to be inaugurated in Jan 2020. Altogether, the new base will have 16 labs maintained by the Ministry of Science & Technology and one by @fiocruz_en: mctic.gov.br/mctic/opencms/s…

Snowy and wild #wildernessfirstaid training on Kunanyi/Mount Wellington with members of the @AusAntarctic human impacts and remediation team. Great opportunity to practice a massive range of realistic “scenarios” for both work and play. Great fun too.

Understanding and mitigating (#remediaton) the risk of contaminants under the unique conditions of the Antarctic requires a multi-disciplinary approach. Read more here on the collaborative research between human impacts & remediation scientists at @AusAntarctic and @Rmit.

Great collaborative research between human impacts & remediation scientists at @AusAntarctic and the @ferrari_belinda lab. #bioremediation #antarctic
Awesome work Sarita. @Sarita59152272 Hydrocarbon polar metabolites are a concern and should be investigated further. Characterization of polar metabolites and evaluation of their potentia... sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Check out the latest of the Australian Antarctic Magazine. See what happens when geotechnical engineers, environmental scientists and doctors from @AusAntarctic collaborate to use x-rays in a new and novel way to monitor remediation technologies in the #Antarctic.

I find it interesting, in this article, how a part time #STEM position after having children is somehow seen as leaving. Having access to a part time academic position for the last 3 years has helped me to stay in #STEM. Next year my aim is to return to full time.
