This bibliography site is provided by the Oil Spill Recovery Institute (OSRI), a private, nonprofit research organization based in Cordova, Alaska. OSRI's mission is to support research, education, and demonstration projects that improve understanding of and response to oil spills in Arctic and Subarctic marine environments.
OSRI was born out of the Exxon Valdez oil spill and authorized by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA90) to “identify and develop the best available techniques, equipment, and materials for dealing with oil spills.”

This site is a carefully curated listing of research into high-latitude oil spills.
A team of volunteer editors reviews each entry and makes periodic updates.
