Exploring the Spatial Variations of Stressors Impacting Platform Removal in the Northern Gulf of Mexico

Although progress has been made to advance our understanding of the risks involved in offshore oil extraction activities, a regional scale understanding of factors contributing to losses in infrastructure integrity are lacking. Recent data integration efforts have resulted in a comprehensive databas...
