Growing concerns over the risk of accidental releases of oil into the marine environment
have emphasized our need to improve both oil spill preparedness and response strategies …

The increasing oil demand and busy waterways highlight the importance of oil spill
preparedness and responses. Dispersants attract attention as an effective response tool to …

Whether the result of an oil well blowout, vessel collision or grounding, leaking pipeline, or
other incident at sea, each marine oil spill will present unique circumstances and …

Cohesive particles in aquatic systems can play an important role in determining the fate of
spilled oil via the generation of Oil-Mineral Aggregates (OMAs). Series of laboratory …

Crude oil that is spilled in marine environments often interacts with suspended sediments to
form residues that can impact the recovery of the affected nearshore ecosystems. When …

Natural attenuation is an important process for oil spill management in marine environments.
Natural attenuation affects the fate of oil by physical, chemical, and biological processes …

Green dispersants are so-called “green” because they are renewable (from bio-based
sources), non-volatile (from ionic liquids), or are from naturally available solvents (vegetable …

There is public concern about the behaviour of spilled diluted bitumen (dilbit) in marine and
estuarine waters. We provide a preliminary assessment of the results of laboratory …

Oil-sediment aggregation is an important transport and transformation process of spilled oil,
which has been considered as a pathway of spill remediation. This work focused on the …

After spill, the dispersed oil droplets may collide with suspended particulate matter in the
water column to form oil-particle aggregates (OPAs) in turbulent environments. It may be an …
