The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU is providing a grant opportunity for research on oil-particle aggregates (OPAs) following oil spill incidents in natural rivers. The project aims to develop FluOil, a model for assessing the impact and propagation of OPA in water systems using the Illinois River as a case study. By simulating hypothetical spill scenarios, the model will support decision-making for community and environmental protection downstream. Applications for this grant must be submitted by Dec 05, 2017.

| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for conducting research and developing a model for the fate and transport of oil-particle aggregates (OPAs) in natural rivers after an oil spill incidence. The developed model, FluOil, will be capable of assessing the impact range of OPA after an oil spill, and demonstrate its suitability as a decision support tool by using the Illinois River as a case study. The vulnerability to communities and national, State, and County fish and wildlife areas downstream can be assessed by demonstrating the propagation of OPA plumes and areas of deposition after a hypothetical oil spill incidence at the upstream part of the Illinois River that simulated with realistic flow patterns. |
