Grad Student Ji Helps Improve Tool to Locate Oil Beneath the Ocean Surface
When a marine oil spill occurs, it is vital to quickly determine where and when to dispatch response operations.

Interactions among wind, waves, and upper-ocean currents are essential factors in predicting oil slick transport and fate. These complex interactions, however, make capturing their dynamics in simulations challenging, especially when turbulent weather conditions are present.
