Oil spills in oceans have substantial influence on marine ecosystems. This study investigates 21 oil spills in the world. Analyzing Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiomerer (MODIS) data after Penglai oil spills on 4 June 2011, found a bloom with peak value of ...
BEIJING, June 17 (Xinhua) -- Chinese and U.S. scientists found that oil spills in global oceans caused by human activities are substantially underestimated, with over 90 percent discharges "anthropogenic." The study published on Friday in the journal, Science, described the extent, frequency, an...
Crude oil spills in oceans have been frequent in recent years, damaging the environment and affecting the economy. The spilled oil is hard to collect and clean up via traditional technology. It is believed that the new study may be widely used to treat oil spills in the future....
In subject area: Earth and Planetary Sciences Marine oil pollution is a global problem that results from both highly publicized spills and more extensively from long-term chronic low levels of illegal discharges. From: Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences (Second Edition), 2001 ...
Understanding Oil Spills Oil is among the most important energy sources in the world. Because of its uneven distribution, it is transported by ships across the oceans and by pipelines across the lands. This has resulted inseveral accidentswhile transporting the oil to vessels, breaking pipelines, ...
Oil spills pose the greatest threat to birds and marine life. When oil coats birds’ plumage, it impacts their ability to insulate and they ingest harmful toxins while preening. Since oil floats on water, large patches of oil on lakes and oceans minimize sunlight, destroy plant life and ...
of oil spills so that no such disaster occurs and response teams should be there to control and act on these disasters. This article will be helpful for you whenever you study ocean pollution or water pollution or oil spills in the oceans in Environment studies, Geography or Disaster ...
Modelling of oil spills in confined maritime basins: The case for early response in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea A total of 104 oil spill simulations, computed for 11 different locations in the Levantine Basin, show that oil slicks will reach the coast of Cyprus ... TM Alves,E Kokinou,G ...
Oil spills in the oceans may receive most attention through the pollution of beaches, where the environmental impact of the crude becomes intensely apparent through the killing of shore birds, stinking slicks on the water, and black oiling of the white sands. The dramatic images prompt extensive ...
