red block IOSC, the 20th Triennial International Oil Spill Conference & Exposition, May 4 - 8, 2008 in Savannah, GA. The Conference theme for 2008 is "Creating a Culture of Preparedness". The International Oil Spill Conference contributes to and enables a "culture of preparedness" within the oil spill response community, the broader field of incident management, and society as a whole. It provides a forum for professionals from the international community, the private sector, government, and non-governmental organizations to highlight and discuss innovations and best practices across the spectrum of prevention, preparedness, response and restoration. Plan now to attend and visit the Center's Booth #650. More>>

An Oil-in-Ice Research Meeting was held in Trondheim, Norway on January 28-29, 2008. Center Co-Director Amy Merten attended this planning meeting for the proposed Center-funded Oil-in-Ice research.. Dr. Merten along with collaborators from the Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research at the Norwegian Institute of Technology (SINTEF), University of Alaska Fairbanks, and University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) met to finalize details of the group’s proposed research. This Center-funded research will be an add-on activity to the ongoing Oil-in-ice Joint Industry Program (JIP) coordinated by SINTEF. The goal of this joint research is to provide a basis and methodology for estimating routes and magnitudes of potential environmental exposures and concentrations of oil components migrating through the ice regime as the oil is subjected to a freezing-thawing cycle.
 
red block CLEAN GULF, the premier Gulf Coast solutions exposition focused on the vital oil and hazmat spill, marine salvage & port security planning and response markets, took place November 15 - 16, 2007 in Tampa, FL. The industry-based CLEAN GULF Program Committee met in Tampa to bring together the most relevant and topical conference topics, training and reality-based program available to the industry in 2007. From pre-spill planning through final clean up and disposal, CLEAN GULF remains focused on the real challenges, trends and solutions that affect the energy industry and its responders. More>>
 
red block CLEAN PACIFIC 2007, September 12 - 14, 2007. CLEAN PACIFIC 2007, the premier West Coast Conference & Exhibition on Oil, Gas & Chemical Emergency Planning, Prevention & Response, Marine Fire & Salvage, and Port & Maritime Security, brings the Environmental, Security, Emergency Planning & Response industries together, from throughout the Energy & Maritime Industry. This conference and exhibition concentrates on the new realities of environmental and security concerns, and brings into focus the intertwined relationships between regulatory, operator and response communities. The agenda includes key perspectives from the inland, coastal and offshore ports, facilities, pipelines, shipping and drilling marketplaces. More>> To view the Conference Program, click here>>
 
North Atlantic Chapter of the Society for Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (www.nacsetac.org) annual meeting and short course were held on June 13 - 15, 2007 at the Roger Williams University campus in Bristol, Rhode Island. On Wednesday, June 13th, a short course on Sediment Toxicity Testing: Methods to Achieve Strong Data Sets and Interpret Results will be conducted. We are planning a hands-on component for this course. The 2007 Annual Meeting on Thursday and Friday will include sessions on current trends in benthic community evaluations on contaminated sites, contaminated sediment assessment, contaminants of emerging and continuing concern, weight of evidence approaches, natural resource damage assessment (a continuation of our well-received February short course, including case studies), metal speciation and bioavailability, as well as other topics in environmental toxicology and chemistry.
