Plenary sessions of 10- or 20-minute presentations will be featured, followed by a question period.
There will also be a Speakers' Corner where speakers can present "last
minute" results in their research. Poster Presentations will be held daily at which researchers can present their
latest work. Booths will be set up during the Seminar to exhibit equipment used for oil and chemical cleanup and spill-related services.
