Sessions included physical behaviour of oilspills, biological effects, shoreline protection and cleanup, combustion and incineration, containment and recovery, dispersants, countermeasures strategies, detection, tracking and remote sensing, activity updates and experimental spills.

Sessions include: Chemical and physical properties and behaviour. - Biological effects. - Spill countermeasures. - Dispersants. - Detection, tracking and remote sensing. - Shoreline cleanup and protection. - Experimental and recent spills.

34 papers grouped under the headings: physical behavior; biological effects; countermeasures; shoreline protection and cleanup; detection, tracking and remote sensing; experimental spills; activity reports and assessment programs; the 1983 offshore dispersant trials.

Contains papers presented at ninth Arctic Marine Oilspill Program Technical Seminar held in Edmonton, June 10-12, 1986. Seven sections: properties, behaviour and modelling; biological effects; countermeasures; activity reports/experimental spills/recent spills; detection/tracking/remote sensing; dispersants; and the Freshwater Oil Spill Research Program.

Papers presented at the tenth meeting held in Edmonton, June 10-12, 1986. Organized under six sessions: properties, behaviour and modelling; biological fate and effects; countermeasures; spill tracking and remote sensing; dispersants; activity reports and recent spill experiences.
