The IOSSC will provide a platform for professionals, scholars and students from the oil spill response community, government, industry, and academia to work together to deal with the challenges in the field of oil spill response. The conference will bring experts from around the world to present their latest research in the field of oil spill science including spill prevention, contingency planning, and environmental rehabilitation.
The IOSSC is currently calling for the submission of original works / abstracts for submission to this year’s conference. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Contingency planning, preparation, and prevention
- Risk assessments
- Pre-incident spill/baseline monitoring
- Regional response planning
- Spill science and response training
- Emerging oil spill response challenges
- Subsurface and deep-water releases
- Submerged and sunken oil
- Spills in Arctic and harsh weather conditions
- Response to unconventional products (e.g., dilbit, Low Sulphur Fuel Oils)
- Spill identification, detection/surveillance, visualization and monitoring
- Oil spill environmental forensics
- Development and application of oil sensors
- Remote sensing
- Monitoring and modeling oil plume behavior
- Response technologies and countermeasures
- Oil containment and recovery
- Spill treating agents (e.g., dispersants, surface-washing agents)
- In-situ burning
- Oil translocation
- Oil spill waste management and disposal
- Natural attenuation and bioremediation
- Breakdown and transport of hydrocarbons
- Oil weathering and its influence on fate and transport
- Oil droplet formation/transport/fate and oil-particle interactions
- Consequences of oil spills and clean-up operations
- Biological effects of oil (exposure risk, toxicity, population/ecosystem level impacts) and spill response countermeasures
- Public health, socioeconomic and ecosystem service impacts
- Restoration and recovery
- Application of Net Environmental Benefit Analysis (NEBA)/ Spill Impact Mitigation Assessment (SIMA) for selection response option(s)
- Monitoring restoration strategy success and site recovery
- Database management, data analysis, modelling and decision support tools
- Natural Resource Damage Assessments
- Case studies and lessons learned
- Spills of opportunity and field trials
- Science communications and outreach
- Technology transfer
- Stakeholder and indigenous engagement
- Building research partnerships, collaborations and networks
The deadline to submit an abstract is June 17, 2022. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at iossc2022@gmail.com.
