OR&R scientists
to discuss how to improve and integrate trajectory fate and effects
forecasting capabilities. This workshop is by special invitation
only.
Workshop discussions will include:
- Predicting Risk - Approaches and Challenges
- Forecasting Environmental Effects
- Integrating Transport and Fate Models with
Environmental and Toxicological Data
- Communicating Complex Modeling to Decision
Makers
- Developing Response Time-Scale Predictions
that Reflect Uncertainties and Are Useful to Decision Makers
Anticipated outcomes will be: an increased
collaboration between scientists and decision makers across the
physical, biological, and toxicological fields of spill response
and modeling; incorporation of innovations from other scientific
disciplines into spill modeling; and a set of research needs that
addresses improvements to spill response modeling.

Historical
Incidents Database
Below are three particularly interesting incidents.
By searching for these incidents in the historical database, you'll
pull up all the records for each incident. Click on the incident
name to see the initial report link. Search results come up with
the latest entries first. Tracking the situation reports will
give you a timeline of the incidents. Other products such weather,
trajectory and resources at risk provide updates on the environmental
information.
