Abstract

ABSTRACT The Texas General Land Office (GLO) has developed elements of an oil spill decision support system that integrate a trajectory model, a real-time environmental monitoring network, and a customized geographic information system (GIS) application. Through applied research, the GLO is striving to improve the reliability of oil spill trajectory modeling by improving the quality and timeliness of the environmental inputs. A GLO-developed GIS user interface facilitates the quick and efficient production of high-quality maps, to provide spill response managers with timely environmental and other spill-related information.
