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 …

This paper reviews physical mechanisms, observation techniques and modelling
approaches dealing with surface currents on short time scales (hours to days) relevant for …

The prevalence of maritime transportation and operations is increasing, leading to a gradual
increase in drowning accidents at sea. In the context of maritime search and rescue (SAR), it …

The processes of transport, diffusion and transformation of surface oil in seawater can be
simulated using a Lagrangian model formalism coupled with Eulerian circulation models …

This study aims at assessing the fate of MV Wakashio oil spill, and the driving forces
responsible for possible environmental consequences of polluted coastal region. GNOME …

The experience acquired in the Prestige crisis management has demonstrated the
importance of forecasting oil slick trajectories to plan an effective oil spill response. To have …

In this paper, we present the operational forecasting system developed to assist in the
response to the 2002 Prestige oil spill in Cantabria. The objective of the system developed …

Drowning events are becoming more common. It is important to accurately predict the drift
trajectory of floating objects. This study proposes a sea-area-scale drift modeling method to …

Oil spills in the ocean are a matter of concern due to the damaging effect they can have on
coastal and offshore resources. This work presents a review of present-day modeling …

Abstract During the Costa Concordia emergency case, regional, subregional, and
relocatable ocean models have been used together with the oil spill model, MEDSLIK-II, to …
