      Oil spills in ice-covered waters pose unique challenges to remediation activities. In-situ burning is a potential remediation technique that has shown promising efficiency in earlier trials. An element of in-situ burning ...
    • Microbial Community Dynamics during Biodegradation of Crude Oil and Its Response to Biostimulation in Svalbard Seawater at Low Temperature 

      Hiie, Nõlvak; Dang, Nga Phuong; Truu, Marika; Peeb, Angela; Tiirik, Kertu; O'Sadnick, Megan; Truu, Jaak (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The development of oil exploration activities and an increase in shipping in Arctic areas have increased the risk of oil spills in this cold marine environment. The objective of this experimental study was to assess the ...
    • Observations of Ice Conditions and Properties in Norwegian Fjords during the Winter of 2018 and Implications for Oil Spill Response 

      O'Sadnick, Megan Eileen; Petrich, Christian; Kleven, Øystein; Brekke, Camilla; Skarðhamar, J.; Dang, Nga Phuong (Chapter, 2018)
      As the arctic opens to more development and increasing ship traffic, coastlines are at greater risk of oil pollution resulting from these operations. Fjords are one feature common throughout the arctic, with many dotting ...
    • The Entrainment and Migration of Crude Oil in Sea Ice, the Use of Vegetable Oil as a Substitute, and Other Lessons from Laboratory Experiments 

      O'Sadnick, Megan Eileen; Petrich, Christian; Dang, Nga Phuong (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Understanding the interaction between oil and sea ice is essential in the development of oil spill detection and response technology in the Arctic. Laboratory experiments were performed to examine oil migration in sea ice ...
