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 …

Growing concerns over the risk of accidental releases of oil into the marine environment
have emphasized our need to improve both oil spill preparedness and response strategies …

The oil spillage and maritime pollution due to spilled oil have been affecting human life and
the environment in the long term seriously. The methods and techniques presently used to …

The weathering of crude oil at sea has been researched for nearly half a century. However,
there have been relatively few opportunities to validate laboratory-based predictions about …

Abstract The 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster remains the largest single accidental release
of oil and gas into the ocean. During the 87-day release, scientists used oceanographic …

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was the largest, longest-lasting, and deepest oil accident to
date in US waters. As oil and natural gas jetted from release points at 1,500-m depth in the …

Natural attenuation is an important process for oil spill management in marine environments.
Natural attenuation affects the fate of oil by physical, chemical, and biological processes …

Photochemical weathering transforms petroleum oil and changes its bulk physical
properties, as well as its partitioning into seawater. This transformation process is likely to …

Microplastics (MPs) can interact with spilled oil to form MP-oil-dispersant agglomerates
(MODAs) in oceans. This study investigated the MODA formation mechanism and its impact …

The lack of a conceptual understanding and unifying quantitative framework to guide
conduct and interpretation of laboratory oil toxicity tests, has led investigators to divergent …
