Citation:

BOUFADEL, M. AND J. W. WEAVER. POTENTIAL ENTRAPMENT OF OIL IN A TIDAL MARSH IN LONG ISLAND NEW YORK. Presented at 2006 Freshwater Spill Conference, Portland, OR, May 01 - 03, 2006.

Impact/Purpose:

The objective of this research is to develop a multicomponent, mass-balance-based model for simulating transport of spilled oils with and without dispersant treatments.

Description:

This presentation describes hydraulic and biological characteristics of a tidal marsh located on the southern shore of Long Island, NY, coupled with transport simulations which indicated potential for entrapment of spilled oil in the marsh.
