Book excerpt: The oil spill was the largest in U.S. history. In April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded and sank. Oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico from a deep ocean well. For months, the energy company BP tried to control the leak. More than four million barrels of oil flowed into the Gulf before the well was stopped. Fishers, shrimpers, and many others along the Gulf coast lost their income as polluted water prevented fishing and stifled tourism. Meanwhile, countless workers tried to contain the spilled oil. Boat crews skimmed the oil slicks on the surface. Scientists poured chemicals into the water to break up the oil. Then bacteria could remove the smaller oil droplets from the water. Wildlife organizations rescued oil-slicked pelicans, turtles, and other animals. The government, together with BP and volunteers, rallied to help coastal areas recover. Oil Spill! explores the Gulf of Mexico disaster from the beginning. With vivid images and diagrams, it breaks down the murky mess to look at how it happened, how it affected the Gulf, how it compares to past spills, and how kids can help the area recover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil Spill Environmental Forensics provides a complete view of the various forensic techniques used to identify the source of an oil spill into the environment. The forensic procedures described within represent various methods from scientists throughout the world. The authors explore which analytical and interpretative techniques are best suited for a particular oil spill project. This handy reference also explores the use of these techniques in actual environmental oil spills. Famous incidents discussed include the Exxon Valdez incident in 1989 and the Guanabara Bay, Brazil 2000. The authors chronicle both the successes and failures of the techniques used for each of these events. Dr. Zhendi Wang is a senior research scientist and Head of Oil Spill Research of Environment Canada, working in the oil and toxic chemical spill research field. He has authored over 270 academic publications and won a number of national and international scientific honors and awards. Dr. Wang is a member of American Chemical Society (ACS), the Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC), and the International Society of Environmental Forensics (ISEF). International experts show readers the forensic techniques used in oil spill investigations Provides the theoretical basis and practical applications for investigative techniques Contains numerous case studies demonstrating proven technique

Book excerpt: This compilation opens by examining earlier investigations of the oil drops dynamics in the marine environment, including the influence of their buoyancy and the dissolution of gases contained inside crude oil. Modelling these processes presents possibilities for estimating the spatial scales of oil drops spreading within the sea environment and on the sea surface, as well as their effect on an ice cover of ice infested seas. The presented information can be the basis for development the instruments for remote detection of crude oil escapes from seabed pipelines. Soil in places of oil pollution, such as Western Siberia, is discussed. The degree of influence of pollutants depends on the type of soils. For instance, it may affect more on peat than on mineral soils. In the northern part of Western Siberia, peatlands with a low content of ash elements are dominant. In the event of an oil leak, an essential element of effective response to any adverse consequences is proper planning for definition of necessary tasks, personnel, and resources. As such, the authors stress the importance of implementing modern features, like automated monitoring and rapid response, in crisis situations in areas of enterprise information systems development. This is urgent for the petroleum and gas sectors of the Russian economy, as the number of oil leaks has increased to 28,000 per year. The concluding paper presents the results of original long-term field research carried out on geographically different seacoasts. The results are analyzed in order to determine the rates of spilled fuel oil natural destruction and to consider their relationship with principal environmental factors such as climatic and hydrological conditions, coast exposure and geomorphology, types of substrate, and intensity of biogeochemical cycles. The examination of the observed rates of oil shows that temperature and seawater salinity are crucial environmental factors in the self-cleaning process.
