COSSEP Seminar Series Video Presentations

Improving SCAT Reconnaissance Using a Portable, UAS-based, Multi-Camera Remote Sensing System By Mr. Judd Muskat (Video)
OSPR staff use drones and sophisticated cameras to assess the extent of environmental damage when oil releases occur in inland California. OSPR Environmental Scientist Judd Muskat received funding for his research from the California Oil Spill Study and Evaluation Program (COSSEP). Muskat's presentation is part of a monthly seminar series that started February, 2020.

Relating Acute Oil Injury in fish to PAH Metabolite Concentrations In Bile (Video)
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic components of petroleum. Consequently, exposures of fish (e.g. Topsmelt) to these compounds is of concern when an oil spill occurs in the ocean. These studies will provide critical information for oil spill natural resource damage assessments by measuring fish PAH concentrations using bile. OSPR Chemist Martice Vasquez received funding for her research from the California Oil Spill Study and Evaluation Program (COSSEP). This presentation was part of a monthly seminar series that started February, 2020.
