Brief Description (Abstract):

During the austral Antarctic summer (November 2006 - February 2007), vital environmental data the Indian Scientific Base, Maitri in east Antarctica have been assessed. Extensive monitoring of air, surface water bodies and waste materials located in the proximity of Maitri station in particular and in the Schirmacher Oasis region in general was undertaken. The identified outputs from the activity include emissions to air, soil and ice hazardous and nonhazardous waste generations, mechanical actions, obstructions etc. A number of unavoidable impacts have been identified through the assessment, mainly of low and medium intensity. The impacts with both high probability and high intensity have also been identified and merit prioritisation in further mitigation effects. Sampling of water and wastewater emanating from different locations in and around Maitri was undertaken.

Status: Completed

Purpose: To highlight the environmental parameters observed during austral Antarctica summer from November 2006 to February 2007.
