Oil Spill Environmental Forensics provides a complete view of the
various forensic techniques used to identify the source of an oil
spill into the environment. The forensic procedures described within
represent various methods from scientists throughout the world. The
authors explore which analytical and interpretative techniques are
best suited for a particular oil spill project.
This handy reference also explores the use of these techniques in
actual environmental oil spills. Famous incidents discussed include
the Exxon Valdez incident in 1989 and the Guanabara Bay, Brazil 2000.
The authors chronicle both the successes and failures of the
techniques used for each of these events.
