Several oil spill simulation models exist in the literature, which are used worldwide to
simulate the evolution of an oil slick created from marine traffic, petroleum production, or …

Conventional synthetic sorbents for oil spill removal are the most widely applied materials,
although they are not the optimal choices from an economic and environmental point of …

Following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident of a massive blow-out in the Gulf of Mexico,
scientists from government, industry, and academia collaborated to advance oil spill …

Understanding the water circulation in oceans and coastal seas is among the key topics of
oceanographic and climate research. Hydrodynamic studies form the basis for many …

Offshore oil spills often result in severe environmental and socio-economic consequences.
This work focuses on a busy, yet poorly studied part of NW Europe, the Irish Sea, to assess …

Abstract Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) are the hidden fluid flow skeletons that
provide meaningful information about the Lagrangian circulation. In this study, we computed …

Oil pollution is one of the major critical risks to the Egypt's marine environment due to the
heavy traffic caused by shipping in the Suez Canal and the exploration and production of …

We investigate the impact of atmospheric forcing uncertainties on the prediction of the
dispersion of pollutants in the marine environment. Ensemble simulations consisting of 50 …

Abstract The Tuscan Archipelago, with its great environmental and economic importance, is
one of the highest oil spill density areas in the Western Mediterranean. In this study, an …

Oil spills may have devastating effects on marine ecosystems, public health, the economy,
and coastal communities. As a consequence, scientific literature contains various up-to-date …
