Processing large data sets on a cloud-based platform greatly reduces the costs normally associated with the required computing infrastructure due to its on-demand availability and scalability. Cloud-based computing can therefore be leveraged to speed operational delivery of large data sets to research scientists and decision-makers in an emergency response, specifically during a marine oil spill response...
In-situ burning (ISB) aided by herding agents is a promising tool for oil spill response in Arctic waters. An advantageous aspect of the herder mediated ISB approach is that the application of herders as well as the subsequent ignition of the slick could potentially be carried out from aerial platforms. This could obviate the need for personnel to conduct operations on the surface near the burn, as...
