Different causes lead to accidental oil spills from fixed and mobile sources in the marine
environment. Therefore, it is essential to have a systematic plan for mitigating oil spill …

SANIFS (Southern Adriatic Northern Ionian coastal Forecasting System) is a coastal-ocean
operational system based on the unstructured grid finite-element three-dimensional …

The intensification of extreme events, storm surges and coastal flooding in a climate change
scenario increasingly influences human processes, especially in coastal areas where sea …

Oil extraction platforms are potential sources of oil spills. For this reason, an oil spill
forecasting system was set up to support the management of emergencies from the oil fields …

This work explores the importance of considering tidal dynamics when modelling the
general circulation in the Messina Strait, a narrow passage connecting the Tyrrhenian and …

Coupled wave–3D-hydrodynamics model runs are performed to investigate thermal
discharge release to coastal areas by means of including nearshore effects of wave-current …

In this chapter we analyze the last 15 years of oil spill numerical modeling applications in the
Western Mediterranean Sea. From the literature, around 17 different scientific papers were …

In this chapter, different kinds of oil spill beaching maps are proposed for the Mediterranean.
These beaching maps can be useful as a complementary tool to vulnerability analysis and …

A high resolution submesoscale resolving ocean model was implemented in a limited area
