Oil spill vulnerability, coastal morphology, and sedimentation of outer Kenai Peninsula and Montague Island. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6136379
The report discusses the results of an extensive study of the geomorphology, sedimentology, and oil-spill vulnerability of the outer Kenai Peninsula and Montague Island shorelines. Major emphasis is placed on the application of an Oil Spill Vulnerability Index (O.S.V.I.). Large segments of the shoreline are high risk environments with respect to oil-spill residence time. Nearly 60% of the study area falls into O.S.V.I. classes 6-10, which indicates any oil spilled would have residence times from one to more than ten years.
