Oil Spill Modeling

Oil spill modeling involves using computer simulations to predict how spilled oil will spread, move, and change over time in the environment. It considers factors like ocean currents, wind, weather, and the oil's properties to forecast its trajectory and impact. This helps responders plan effective cleanup strategies, minimize environmental damage, and protect wildlife and coastal communities. Essentially, it's a virtual tool that models the behavior of oil in water to improve response efforts and environmental protection.
