Dr Erich Gundlach has been involved with oil spill response and assessment since 1976 and has published extensively on the interaction of oil pollution and sediments, environmental sensitivity analyses and mapping, emergency response management, and the physical and biological effects of oil pollution. He has studied and advised on some of the largest oil spills in history including Metula, Ixtoc 1, Amoco Cadiz, Exxon Valdez and Deepwater Horizon, and provided environmental guidance to major pipeline development projects running from Azerbaijan to Turkey and Turkey to Austria. He is currently Project Director in Nigeria of the largest cleanup and restoration of contaminated mangroves ever undertaken and an advisor to the United Nations Environment Program regarding oil and gas development in Uganda.
