Meeting Goals
The goal of this workshop is to harness all of the existing resources and knowledge that is currently available on liquid asphalt releases, then to discuss & determine the research gaps in:
- characteristics, fate, behavior & modeling of liquid asphalt
- effects of asphalt
- mitigation techniques for spilled asphalt
- detection and recovery of liquid asphalt releases. A final report will be produced.
