Abstract:

Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University<br>This thesis presents a novel formulation of a gradient-type controller to address the problem of cleaning up marine oil spills. Little work appears to have been done in developing autonomous oil spill clean-up devices, with most research efforts directed toward developing improved oil collection strategies. It does not appear that previous work in this field has included development of control algorithms specific to addressing the problem of deployment strategies for multiple clean-up devices. This thesis provides a framework for deployment of multiple clean

Abstract:

Development and expansion of renewable energy generation is one of the highest political and environmental priorities facing today's Governments. Due to increased demand for green technology, the range of options for generating clean energy has expanded. In the case of energy generation from waste sources, it has been further fuelled by increasing pressure for environmentally benign waste disposal systems, burgeoning waste volumes and concerns over secondary pollution from disposed waste. An industry that is integral to energy production, and has a high profile in terms of environmental protec

Abstract:

In the past two decades we witnessed a decrease in both the number of oil spill incidents, and of the quantity of oil released in these incidents, which led to a diminished interest for basic oil spill science. With the introduction of more stringent oil spill legislation, much of the spill response, assessment and restoration activities were passed to governmental agencies and other stakeholders. Their capabilities were perhaps sufficient to deal with the most frequently occurring small-scale spills, however, recent large, catastrophic incidents such as the sinking of Prestige in 2002, or

Abstract:

Marine pollution resulting from oil spillage has received much attention mostly due to the damaging effects it has on fisheries and aquacultures. One component of oil that is widely studied due to its toxic and carcinogenic properties is the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The physical and chemical properties of these compounds control their distribution into the various phases of the environment. The rates of elimination of these compounds from impacted organisms were investigated in laboratory and field experiments using selected marine organisms (Mytilus edulis and Salmo salar). The elimi

Abstract:

Over the last four decades, there have been many catastrophic oil spills in the marine environment and these larger oil spills have often caused environmental devastation especially if they occurred in the coastal marine area. Serious ecological damage can also be caused from operational discharges, ballast and bilge water, from ships within territorial waters. Until now New Zealand has only had relatively minor oil spillages in its coastal waters, primarily from ships' discharge or accidental leaks in port. The possibility however of a major oil spill occurring within our coastal area is

Abstract:

One of the main limitations to the bioremediation of oil-contaminated marine sediments is the low hydrocarbons bioavailability. Aim of this PhD research project is to identify an environmental friendly approach to increase hydrocarbons bioavailability and biodegradation in oil-contaminated marine sediments. Several surfactants/pollutant mobilizing agents have been selected and applied to slurry microcosms: two microbial surfactants (sophorolipids and rhamnolipids), two types of cyclodextrins (hydroxypropyl- and randomly methylated- β-cyclodextrins; HPB-CD and RAMEB-CD), two commercial soy lec

Abstract:

The marine ecosystems are fundamental for human welfare. A number of current environmental pressures need attention, and the formulation of management strategies requires information from a variety of analytical dimensions. The linkage between environmental change and resulting implications for human welfare is one such dimension. This thesis presents studies on welfare implications from hypothetical future policies which improve the state of the marine environment. The method for these studies is economic valuation.

The explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform on April 20, 2010 resulted in the second largest oil spill in history. In this study, the distribution and chemical composition of hydrocarbons within a 45 km radius of the blowout was investigated. A complete set of hydrocarbon data were acquired from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and from BP, including data from 16 research missions collected over eight weeks. The distribution of hydrocarbons was found to be more dispersed over a wider area in subsurface waters than previously predicted or reported. Several hydr

Abstract:

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in the environment due to accidental spills during use, transport and storage of petroleum and coal derivatives. Their high chemical stability and hydrophobicity confers them recalcitrance. Because of their great persistence in the environment, toxicity and carcinogenicity, these compounds are on the list of priority pollutants. The most sustainable way to remove these compounds from soil without damaging its ecological structure and function is bioremediation. This technology uses the metabolic capabilities of microorganisms to decontamin

The main goals of this thesis are to develop a system to simulate and visualize the dynamics of a marine oil spill. This necessitates the development of computational models of the properties of petroleum, the containing environment, and a melding of them into a consistent simulation of the fate and transport of oil spills. Techniques of computer graphics will be applied to present the state of this system as a visual output. Through a large set of accessible parameters and data, the variation of the system in terms of spill simulation, and model tuning, will be visualized over both time and s

Environmental liability cases involving spilled or released petroleum products into ocean ecosystems require oil identification techniques that are unambiguous and conclusive, even in situations where oils have been subjected to secondary environmental processes, such as, evaporation and dissolution. The ability and functionality of the Compound Specific Isotope Correlation (CSIC) technique is tested to determine its reliability to characterize released petroleum using the carbon isotope ratios (13C/12C) of the individual gasoline-range compounds (C5-C9).

Also, ocean supports the continued existence of the regional human development, the evolution of civilization, socio-economic and food supply. In the past, it’s usual for us to think ocean should have a huge dilution and self-purification ability, so the pollutions we make may disappear. However, the study shows that it is wrong.

Abstract:

Salt marshes are one of the most difficult environments to remediate due to their sensitive and important ecosystems. Traditional cleanup methods can do more harm to the marsh than the oil itself. Bioremediation is the preferred cleanup approach for these delicate environments. Typically bioremediation has been carried out by the addition of nutrients but the results have been inconsistent. Previous laboratory studies conducted in oiled seawater demonstrated that clay minerals enhanced microbial growth and hence oil degradation. However, this had not been tested at field sites or on oiled mari

In this work, the oil spills found in 2010 on the West Coast of Canada, alongside the collated vessel traffic data captured by the Canadian Coast Guard are investigated to determine the vessels most likely responsible for these spills.
