OILSPILL WORKSHOP

Items considered are spill conditions and logistics...methods of monitoring slick movement, ice movement, weather conditions and seastate...oil-ice interaction, spreading of oil between floes, slick movement and rates of evaporation and dispersion...tests to determine the effectiveness of in-situ burning, and the effectiveness of dispersants and whether we should perform any equipment tests at a spill site. /Author/
