Coastal Response Research Center Hosts Workshop on Oil Spill R&D (OR&R)
From March 17 to 19, the Coastal Response Research Center, a partnership between the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and the Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), hosted a workshop at UNH focused on setting research and development (R&D) priorities for oil spills. During the workshop, participants identified current applied science needs that could improve decision making across the continuum of oil spill preparedness, response, and restoration. The outcome will be a five year R&D strategy covering spill response during disasters; response technologies; acquisition, synthesis & management of information; human dimensions; ecological monitoring & recovery following spills; biofuels; ecological effects of oil spills; and environmental forensics. The workshop included international and national experts from academia, governments, and industry.  Further details are available online. For more information, contact Amy Merten.
