HI54B:
Research Findings and Challenges in Oil Spill Organic Geochemistry Studies II Posters


Session ID#: 11391

Session Description:
Since the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DwH) oil spill, more than 40 oil spills have occurred throughout the world, releasing 39,000 - 260,000 tons of crude oil. Most spills occurred on the surface but deepwater spills, such as DwH, are also important research topics. Besides, the importance of released petroleum from marine natural seeps is increasingly recognized. Researchers around the world from academics, government, and industry have conducted remarkable studies to better understand various oil weathering processes and spatial distribution of residual oil in soils, sediments and marshland. The proposed session will provide an opportunity to present novel organic geochemical approaches, report current research findings, and promote ideas for collaboration with other research areas. Contributions dealing with subjects such as, but not limited to, the fate of hydrocarbons in the ocean and on coastlines (e.g., incorporating in the food web and accumulating in sediments), oil degradation processes (e.g., biodegradation, photodegradation, and formation of oxygenated weathering products), differences between spilled and seeped oil, and the application of novel analytical methods are encouraged. Both oral and poster presentations will be accepted.
