- Abstract
- ***EACH PAPER IS TREATED LIKE A SEPARATE DOCUMENT AND MAY BE VIEWED AND/OR DOWNLOADED THAT WAY*** The goal of the workshop was: To present the state of knowledge to the user community, representatives from local, state, and federal agencies, oil industry, manufacturers, and researchers; to reach consensus on the present status of decision making to allow the use of in situ burning and to prioritize research and information needs to support decisions on the use of in situ burning of spilled oil. To facilitate the discussions, preprints of technical papers were distributed at registration. Participants were divided into two breakout panels: Environmental and human health; Operational implications. The panels examined the information presented, determined a consensus and developed a list of priority needs. The results of the workshop will be used by MMS to refine future research efforts to address the most important issues developed by the participants.
