Literature Review
Literature Review for the Shoreline Oil Spill Response Knowledge Gaps
Project Goal
The overall goal of this project is to identify unknown gaps and opportunities in response technologies and scientific research associated with oil spill shoreline response. This effort will include the exploration of the current state of the science of oil spill research associated with impacts, potential and realized, of crude oil effects to shoreline environments and aid in the identification of countermeasures and response alternatives that may become part of the oil spill response toolbox.
Workshop Objectives
- Identify gaps in the current state of the science from impacts to shorelines from impacts to crude oil and dielectric fluids from offshore facilities through focused workgroup activities and breakout sessions.
-
Identify operational constraints of shoreline techniques using data visualization platforms and case study examples.
Literature Review
A literature review of the state of the science regarding impacts, preparedness and responses strategies and technologies associated with oil spill on shorelines from oils from offshore facilities including crude oil and dielectric fluids has been developed.
