Marine oil spills have received a great deal of attention again since the Deepwater Horizon spill in 2010. Since then, there has been extensive research on various aspects of oil spills. The purpose of the invited Special Issue is to publish the most exciting research with respect to the above subjects and to provide a rapid turn-around time regarding reviewing and publishing, and to disseminate the articles freely for research, teaching, and reference purposes.
High quality papers are encouraged, for publication, directly related to various aspects, as mentioned below. Novel techniques for the study are encouraged.
- Topics—marine oil spills
- Fate and effects
- Analytical techniques
- Behavior and modeling
- Case studies
- Cleanup and countermeasures
