Abstract

Current oil-spill research funded by the US Department of the Interior, Minerals Management Service (MMS), emphasizes technology development in the fields of in situ burning, spill counter-measure standardization using large wave tank testing, remote sensing and oil-spill trajectory analysis. Research projects include efforts in large field observational programs, surface drifters, and modeling to support trajectory simulation in the Gulf of Mexico and the Santa Barbara Channel. Research progress is outlined with emphasis on data-sharing and collaborative efforts.
