HIGH-RESOLUTION MULTI-MODEL SERVICE OF POLLUTANT DISPERSION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA

The Mediterranean Sea is a vast and intricate ecosystem facing substantial environmental challenges due to the growing maritime traffic and resulting marine pollution (EUROSTAT, 2021; Polinov, et al., 2021). To address these concerns, the need for reliable and accurate monitoring service is increasingly important, particularly for predicting and mitigating the impact of pollutant spills on the environment. This research aims to comprehensively understand the dynamics of oil spills in the Mediterranean region. The primary objective is to establish a robust framework for a user-friendly application that not only offers valuable insights into both historical events of oil spills and the complex interplay of various environmental factors but as a forecast tool for monitoring and planning uses.
