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 …

Crude oil that is spilled in marine environments often interacts with suspended sediments to
form residues that can impact the recovery of the affected nearshore ecosystems. When …

Whether the result of an oil well blowout, vessel collision or grounding, leaking pipeline, or
other incident at sea, each marine oil spill will present unique circumstances and …

Chennai, a coastal city in India with a population of over 7 million people, was impacted by a
major oil spill on January 28th 2017. The spill occurred when two cargo ships collided about …

Spilled oil slicks are likely to break into droplets offshore due to wave energy. The fate and
transport of such droplets are affected by suspended particles in local marine environment …

The migration of oil spills in marine environment is still not clear, especially the key
processes of submerging and floating, which is an important concern for effective disposal of …

The interaction of oil and sediment in the environment determines, to a large extent, the
trajectory and fate of oil. Using confocal microscope imaging techniques to obtain detailed …

Oil spills interact with mineral particles to form oil–particle aggregates (OPAs), which
promotes the oil's natural diffusion and biodegradation. We investigated the effect of bacteria …

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) in marine environments plays an important role in
determining the fate of spilled oil via the generation of oil-particle aggregates (OPAs). A …

With the development of marine resources and marine transportation, oil spill accidents
occur frequently which threaten the marine ecological environment and human life. In this …
