The intertidal zone, serving as a dynamic interface, presents a challenging environment for understanding the transport of spilled oil. This study explores the resuspension of stranded oil and the formation of suspended oil-particle aggregates (OPAs) under varying sediment properties, water chemistry, hydrodynamic forces, and biodegradation conditions. Fi ...
