Recent News
Dickins was selected for a grant award in March 2025 from the Oil Spill Recovery Institute (OSRI) to publish the findings of groundbreaking historical research into oil behavior in ice. The objective is to review the results of fifteen experimental spills in ice conducted over a 50-year period between 1970 and 2009, primarily in the U.S., Canada and Norway, and prepare a peer-reviewed paper for submission to a recognized journal. David Dickins played a key role in six of these projects through the course of his career. In particular, the paper will focus on three Canadian projects (1974-1986) that have never been published outside of brief conference papers.
