Project Scope
|
This project will examine available data and evidence about the risk of oil spills from vessels transiting the Aleutian Islands, determine the information needed to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment, recommend the appropriate framework for such an assessment, and identify how a comprehensive risk assessment could be conducted in discrete steps. The framework would establish the most appropriate and scientifically rigorous risk assessment approach possible given available data and modeling capability. The steps would provide a logical sequence of building blocks toward a comprehensive assessment that could be conducted as future funding becomes available.
The project is sponsored by the U.S. Coast Guard, and the State of Alaska. The approximate start date for the project is September 15, 2007. A report will be issued at the end of the project in approximately 8 months.
