A Forum - Oil Spill Research

Tuesday, January 10, 2012 to Wednesday, January 11, 2012

Baton Rouge, Louisiana

MEETING GOAL

The goal of this forum is to encourage dialogue among PIs of current research related to oil spill response (e.g., GRI, NSF) and industry and government representatives in order to coordinate R&D activities regarding future oil spill response in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon.

The objectives of this forum are to: review previous and on-going R&D being conducted by academic, governmental agencies and industry; preent newly funded projects so that everyone is aware of what types of research are being conducted; and evaluate mechanisms for scientific exchange and coordination of oil spill response R&D efforts going forward.

As defined for this forum, oil spill response R&D encompasses any of the following topics:

  • Physical, Chemical and Biological Fate and Transport
  • Biological Effects - Resources at Risk
  • Response Technologies
  • Oil Spill Modeling
  • Monitoring and Detection of Surface, Subsurface and Dispersed Oil
  • Human Dimnesions and Risk Communication
