Paper
GIS Technology Applied to Modeling Oil Spills on Land
Track: Petroleum and Pipeline Transmission
Author(s): Christopher Galagan, Tatsu Isaji, Kelly Knee, Will Farrar

Methods used in the application of GIS technology to simulating the movement and fate of oil spills on land and in surface water features are discussed. The discussion will focus on three areas: model input data preparation; model algorithm development, and; model output analysis. The intent is to help promote an informed discussion within the GIS community of integrating spill modeling over land, stream, and open water systems.
