Presenting contributions from the Third International Conference on Oil and Hydrocarbon Spills, Modelling, Analysis and Control (OIL SPILL), this volume will be valuable to researchers, engineers and managers who are using or investigating the use of state-of-the-art techniques to model, prevent, control and clean up oil spills both in water and on land. Over 40 contributions are included and these cover specific topics within the following areas: modelling of trajectory and fate of spills; oil spill detection and prevention; land spills; experimental and laboratory analysis; clean up measures; biological impact of oil pollution; case studies; remote sensing; and risk assessment.
