Ecological Risk Assessment of Oil Spills in Ice‐Covered Waters: A Surface Slick Model Coupled with a Food‐Web Bioaccumulation Model
ABSTRACT The limited knowledge on oil–ice interactions and on the ecological outcomes of oil spills in the Arctic represent sources of uncertainties for shipping and oil and gas activities in polar regions. The present work aims at the definition of the ecological risk posed by oil spills in the Arc...
