Oil spill response : a global perspective: Proceedings of the NATO CCMS Workshop on Oil Spill Response; Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada; October 11-13, 2006

This book provides a timely international perspective on applied research anddevelopment, technology transfer, and ‘lessons learned’ from field trials andactual case studies associated with recent spill events. Topics include Preparedness/Contingency Planning (Eco-terrorism); Oil Spill Fate and Transport (Environmental Persistence, Remote Sensing, Modelling, Biodegradation), Biological Effects (Environmental Effects Monitoring and Environmental Risk Assessment); and Operational Response (Containment/Recovery Treating Agents, Shoreline Cleanup, In-situ Burning, Emergency Response Strategies). This book provides a synopsis as to the methods currently employed to deals with spills and an insight on future technologies under development.
