DOI: 10.1002/etc.5310
Abstract: Chemical herding agents are surfactant mixtures used to coalesce spilled oil and increase slick thickness to facilitate mechanical recovery or in situ burning. Only two herders are currently listed on the United States' National Oil… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13131-019-1479-8
Abstract: Immediately following a spill at sea, released oil—ranging from diesel to light crude and diluted bitumen, will initially weather through evaporation, resulting in an elevated concentration of light hydrocarbons in the air. As part of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2020.111705
Abstract: A fuzzy decision tree (FDT) based framework was developed to facilitate the selection of suitable oil spill response methods in the Arctic. Hypothetical oil spill cases were developed based on six identified attributes, while the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.7b06463
Abstract: Future oil exploration and marine navigation may well extend into the Arctic Ocean, and government agencies and responders need to plan for accidental oil spills. We argue that dispersants should play an important role in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/annweh/wxab073
Abstract: The GuLF STUDY is investigating health outcomes associated with oil spill-related chemical exposures among workers involved in the spill response and clean-up following the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Due to the lack of dermal exposure measurements,… read more here.
