Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateur : Fingas Merv

Couverture de l’ouvrage Handbook of Oil Spill Science and Technology
Provides a scientific basis for the cleanup and for the assessment of oil spills

  • Enables Non-scientific officers to understand the science they use on a daily basis
  • Multi-disciplinary approach covering fields as diverse as biology, microbiology, chemistry, physics, oceanography and toxicology
  • Covers the science of oil spills from risk analysis to cleanup and through the effects on the environment
  • Includes case studies examining and analyzing spills, such as Tasman Spirit oil spill on the Karachi Coast, and provides lessons to prevent these in the future
