The environmental impacts of an oil spill and the attendant response applied for ecological restoration would mostly depend on the conditions of the spill, nature of the area, quantity and type of oil released, meteorological and climatological factors, as well as the effectiveness of response techniques. The Indonesian government and operators hav...

The role of short- to medium-term geomorphic variation is analyzed in two Italian mixed sand and gravel beaches to better understand how it could affect vulnerability assessments of oil spill events. The study sites, Portonovo and Sirolo, are in one of the most congested areas for oil transportation in the Adriatic Sea (Ancona port). A “snapshot” s...

This study was performed to visually analyse the relationship between particles and oil in seawater by digital holograph technology. Two types of particles with different sizes were chosen to form oil-particle aggregates (OPAs) in the laboratory to determine whether these particles may be a good approach to safely and harmoniously recover marine environment after an oil spill. The processes were recorded by a digital inline holographic system, which could facilitate a continuous real-time three-dimensional in situ observation of oil droplets and OPAs without touching these particles. The visual results showed that, in the micro scale, the particles formed two different types of OPA after breaking the oil film and transported oil into the bottom of the water, while some OPAs could be resuspended.
