Introduction to the Concepts and Use of ERA Acute

Stephansen, Cathrine; Bjørgesæter, Anders; Brude, Odd Willy; Brönner, Ute; Rogstad, Tonje Waterloo; Kjeilen-Eilertsen, Grethe; Libre, Jean-Marie; Collin-Hansen, Christian

Pages: 1 –19

[Introducing the main concepts of ERA Acute, this chapter describes the overall framework and purpose of the methodology. ERA Acute is a recently developed oil spill risk assessment (OSRA) methodology for quantification of oil spill impacts and risk (Environmental Risk Assessment, ERA). It covers...

Environmental Risk Management Applications of ERA Acute

Stephansen, Cathrine; Bjørgesæter, Anders; Brude, Odd Willy; Brönner, Ute; Rogstad, Tonje Waterloo; Kjeilen-Eilertsen, Grethe; Libre, Jean-Marie; Collin-Hansen, Christian

Pages: 21 –31

[ERA Acute supports a variety of analyses, from simple screening studies based on oil spill statistics and potential impact areas to more in-depth impact and recovery calculations on species and habitats. The ERA Acute software tool has been built to enable and provide ease of use of the...

An ERA Acute Model Overview

Stephansen, Cathrine; Bjørgesæter, Anders; Brude, Odd Willy; Brönner, Ute; Rogstad, Tonje Waterloo; Kjeilen-Eilertsen, Grethe; Libre, Jean-Marie; Collin-Hansen, Christian

Pages: 33 –57

[ERA Acute is a model for environmental risk assessmentERA of acute discharges. The calculations follow a common framework for all environmental compartments, whilst maintaining the mechanistic integrity of each compartment and/or VEC group, by using compartment-specific inputs of oil exposure...

Testing and Validating Against Historic Spills

Stephansen, Cathrine; Bjørgesæter, Anders; Brude, Odd Willy; Brönner, Ute; Rogstad, Tonje Waterloo; Kjeilen-Eilertsen, Grethe; Libre, Jean-Marie; Collin-Hansen, Christian

Pages: 59 –86

[To validate the predictive capability of ERA Acute, a study was carried out using data from two well-studied historic oil spills, the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill (EVOSEVOS) and the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (DHOSDHOS) incidents. Results from the case studies with ERA Acute were compared to the...

Handling Uncertainty and Sensitivity of ERA Acute Towards Input Parameters

Stephansen, Cathrine; Bjørgesæter, Anders; Brude, Odd Willy; Brönner, Ute; Rogstad, Tonje Waterloo; Kjeilen-Eilertsen, Grethe; Libre, Jean-Marie; Collin-Hansen, Christian

Pages: 87 –107

[Uncertainty evaluation and sensitivity testingTesting of the functions and parameters used in ERA Acute serve two functions. ERA Acute is a deterministic model which is sensitive to the range of values used for the parameters. Parameters have inherent uncertainties as to what their true values...
