New chemical insights into the structure and morphology of sea slicks and their geophysical interpretations

Advanced Instrumental Approaches for Characterization of Marine Dissolved Organic Matter: Extraction Techniques, Mass Spectrometry, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

“…With a few exceptions (see below), MS has been mainly used in past studies for identifying and quantifying specific fractions or trace components within the marine DOM pool, as opposed to deciphering the structure and composition of bulk DOM. The main classes or species include specific biomolecules, such as proteins, , amino acids, sugars and complex carbohydrates, lipids including sterols, alkenes and fatty acids, , polyphenolics and dissolved lignin , and pheromones and other chemotaxis compounds; , volatile organic compounds and trace organic trace gases; − organic ligands; anthropogenic/pollutant compounds such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons, PCBs, pesticides and brominated compounds; , oil spill residues; , detergents and surfactants including alkylbenzenesulfonates and nonylphenol-ethoxylates; , pharmaceuticals and caffeine; organic iodine species and organic anti-foulants. − …”

Recent Oil Spill Challenges That Require More Attention

“…However, docket contains more than 4000 pages and it includes a summary of the oil incidents, transcripts from both vessels and witnesses aboard nearby vessels, and their factual report investigation. In 2002, many studies should be describing remote sensing of the Reputation accident; see the examples of [72]. The different satellites are such as ERS-2, ENVISAT, ASAR, RADARSAT-1, TerraSAR-X, and ALOS PALSAR data after oil spill incident on coastal.…”
