International experts in the field of oil spill response,
including reprsentatives from 26 NATO countries, participated in a
workshop in Canada to discuss their experience in the development
and application of current and emerging technologies for oil spill
response in the marine environment. These presentations which form
the basis of chapters in this book provide a practical viewpoint of
methods used to deal with oil spills under the variety of
environmental conditions found in the marine environment. In
particular, focus is given to the evaluation of oil spill
countermeasures for use under arctic conditions in light of
anticipated regional increases in marine traffic (e.g. Northwest
Passage) and industrial activities (e.g. offshore oil and gas
exploration) in the future.
This book provides a timely international perspective on applied
research and development, technology transfer, and lessons learned
from field trials and actual case studies associated with recent
spill events. Topics include Preparedness/Contingency Planning,
(Eco-terrorism); Oil Spill Fate and Transport (Environmental
Persistence, Remote Sensing, modelling, Biodegradation), Biological
Effects (Environmental Effects Monitoring and Environmental Risk
Assessment); and Operational Response (Containment/Recovery
Treating Agents, Shoreline Cleanup, In-situ Burning, Emerging
Response Strategies). This book provides a synopsis as to the
methods currently employed to deals with spills and an insight on
future technologies under development. "
