Dispersant in Ice
Chemical dispersants enhance natural dispersion by reducing the surface tension at the oil/water interface, making it easier for waves to create small oil droplets (generally... -
Environmental Effects from Arctic Oil Spills
In the event of an oil spill, there are always major concerns about the severity of environmental effects. In the Arctic, this concern is even higher because of the assumption... -
Field Research Using Herders to Advance In Situ Burning
Controlled in situ burning (ISB) of an oil slick as a response technology has been researched and employed in one form or another at a variety of oil spills since the late... -
In-Situ Burning of Oil in Ice – Affected Waters
Controlled in-situ burning (ISB) of an oil slick as a response technology has been researched and employed in one form or another at a variety of oil spills since the late... -
Oil Spill Detection and Mapping in Low Visibility and Ice
Accurate oil-slick detection and mapping are particularly important for Arctic spills, as oil may be hidden from view under snow and ice during periods of almost total darkness.... -
Mechanical Recovery of Oil in Ice
Mechanical containment and recovery is considered the primary or preferred response strategy in many regions of the world. Containment booms are normally used in combination... -
Behavior of Oil Spills in Ice and Implications for Arctic Spill Response
The paper reviews the history of research into the behavior spills in ice covered waters and documents our current state of knowledge, drawing on the findings from a number of... -
Oil Spill Trajectory Modelling in Ice
An oil spill trajectory model predicts the movement of spilled oil in and under ice, based on such factors as ocean currents, winds, and air and sea temperatures. In Arctic...
