• Climate Change and Fate of Arctic Oil Spills 

      Nordam, Tor; Beegle-Krause, Cynthia Juyne; Reed, Mark (Chapter, 2016-06)
      To investigate how the fate of oil released in the Arctic Ocean may change with a warmer climate, we have performed ensembles of oil spill simulations using Arctic environmental information (winds, currents, ice cover, ...
    • Impact of climate change and seasonal trends on the fate of Arctic oil spills 

      Nordam, Tor; Dunnebier, Dorien; Beegle-Krause, Cynthia Juyne; Reed, Mark; Slagstad, Dag (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-24)
      We investigated the effects of a warmer climate, and seasonal trends, on the fate of oil spilled in the Arctic. Three well blowout scenarios, two shipping accidents and a pipeline rupture were considered. We used ensembles ...
    • Oil Spill Contingency and Response Modelling in Ice-Covered Waters 

      Nordam, Tor; Litzler, Emma; Rønningen, Petter; Aune, Joakim; Hagelien, Thomas Fjæstad; Beegle-Krause, Cynthia Juyne; Brönner, Ute (Chapter, 2018)
      This paper descibes several updates to SINTEFs Oil Spill Contingency and Response (OSCAR) model, which have significantly improved th emodelling of oil spills in cold and ice-covered waters. In addition to transport of ...
    • Oil spill response capabilities and technologies for ice-covered Arctic marine waters: A review of recent developments and established practices 

      Wilkinson, Jeremy; Beegle-Krause, Cynthia Juyne; Evers, Karl-ulrich; Hughes, Nick; Lewis, Alun; Reed, Mark; Wadhams, Peter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-12)
      Renewed political and commercial interest in the resources of the Arctic, the reduction in the extent and thickness of sea ice, and the recent failings that led to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, have prompted industry ...
    • Progress in operational modeling in support of oil spill response 

      Barker, Christopher H.; Kourafalou, Vassiliki H.; Beegle-Krause, Cynthia Juyne; Boufadel, Michel C.; Bourassa, Mark A.; Buschang, Steve G.; Androulidakis, Yannis; Chassignet, Eric; Dagestad, Knut-Frode; Danmeier, Donald G.; Dissanayake, Anusha Lakmali; Galt, Jerry A.; Jacobs, Gregg; Marcotte, Guillaume; Özgökmen, Tamay; Pinardi, Nadia; Schiller, Rafael V.; Socolofsky, Scott A.; Thrift-Viveros, Dalina; Zelenke, Brian; Zhang, Aijun; Zheng, Yangxing (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident of a massive blow-out in the Gulf of Mexico, scientists from government, industry, and academia collaborated to advance oil spill modeling and share best practices in model ...
