SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:09 CP Workshop: Environmental Information and Trajectory Prediction in Oil Spill Response
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:During a spill event, information is key to making good decisions on how to respond.  Field observations, trajectory predictions, and weather forecasts need to be put together to make a coherent picture of the situation.  This course provides an overview of a variety of spill case histories with discussion of the science that governs how spills behave.  Observations discussed include overflight maps, beach surveys and simple oceanographic sampling.  Different types of trajectory modeling will be demonstrated, including working with multiple (stochastic) trajectory simulations. Students will learn the basics of how to put together a spill timeline from the past to the present and into the future using field information and predictions, and how to integrate results with GIS applications such as ArcView® and Google Earth.=0D=0A=

No prior experience required, as this course contains both  rules of thumb  and sophisticated analysis techniques.
