NOAA and the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) will host this collaborative session of NSTA's Science Update.
Major oil spills are rare, but thousands of spills occur each year where oil or chemicals are released into the environment due to accidents or natural disasters. Spills into our coastal waters can harm people and the environment and cause substantial disruption of marine transportation and potential widespread economic impacts.
In this web seminar you will hear about improvements in prevention, response to recent incidents, research on the detection and surveillance of spills at sea, cleanup alternatives, and the effects on natural resources.
Presenter information:
Doug Helton will present the information in this session. Mr. Helton is the Regional Operations Supervisor for the NOAA Emergency Response Division. The Division provides Scientific Support Coordinators that support the U.S. Coast Guard during pollution events. Doug is based in Seattle, WA, but helps manage NOAA response efforts nationally.
