Analysis of the behaviour of oil spills in a sector of the Magdalena river (Colombia)
(2017-01-01)
In 2005, it was estimated that over 70% of oil spills in Colombia affected riverine areas. The Magdalena River is the longest navigable river in the country. It is home to countless species of flora and fauna, and provides ...
A simple Bird Sensitivity to Oil Index as a management tool in coastal and marine areas subject to oil spills when few biological information is available
(2018-03-01)
This study sought to develop a simple index for ranking birds' environmental sensitivity to oil in which birds are used as biological indicators. The study area consisted of both the Santos Estuarine System (SES), and the ...

Embryotoxicity and Physiological Compensation in Chicken Embryos Exposed to Crude Oil
(2021-08-01)
Terrestrial, marine, or aquatic oil spills can directly or indirectly contaminate bird eggs. We hypothesized that chicken embryos exposed to crude oil can physiologically compensate to mitigate the potentially toxic effect ...
Map of cleaning procedures and response actions to oil spills
(2014-01-01)
When an oil spill occurs, the information available in the emergency plan allows the definition of the best strategies for containment and removal of oil slick from water before it reaches the coastal environments. Despite ...
Oil spill modeling off the Brazilian eastern coast: the effect of tidal currents on oil fate
(Revista Brasileira de Geofísica, 2009)
This study presents a comparative analysis of several theoretical oil spill scenarios occurring in the vicinity of the Abrolhos Reefs, a preservation area located off the Brazilian east coast. The following petroleum blocks ...
Thresholds in marsh resilience to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-09-28)
Ecosystem boundary retreat due to human-induced pressure is a generally observed phenomenon. However, studies that document thresholds beyond which internal resistance mechanisms are overwhelmed are uncommon. Following the ...
Vessel and oil spill early detection using COSMO satellite imagery
(Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2017-10)
Oil spillage is one of the most common sources of environmental damage in places where coastal wild life is found in natural reservoirs. This is especially the case in the Patagonian coast, with a littoral more than 5000 ...
New approaches in oil spill mapping and emergency planning
(2014-01-01)
During oil spill episodes, the oil may reach the coastal environments, despite efforts to retain and remove the oil from the water. Thus, response actions must be properly planned in order to minimize the environmental ...
