Coastal Interaction Processes in the Minerals Management Service Coastal Zone Oil Spill Model1

Mark Reed

Erich R. Gundlach²

Abstract: A coastal zone oil spill model (COZOIL) was developed to predict the behavior and fate of oil along an arbitrarily varying coastline. This paper describes algorithms for explicit computation of processes controlling behavior of oil in the intertidal zone. Selected sensitivity studies of these algorithms are presented and discussed.

This research investigated demographic and attitudinal- psychological predictors of verdict and amount of punitive damages awarded in high-stakes civil litigation. Four hundred and forty-six surrogate jurors, selected to be representative of actual jurors, were exposed to realistic case presentations in insurance, tobacco, and pharmaceutical cases that were about to go to trial. Hierarchical regression revealed that perceptions of the existence of a litigation crisis predicted verdict in the tobacco and pharmaceutical cases after controlling for all other variables. Demographic variables predicted verdict and punitive damage awards only modestly and in different ways in the three cases. Need for cognition, strength of will and rationality, and a perception that there is a litigation crisis predicted the amount of punitive damages awarded in the tobacco case. Litigation crisis also predicted the amount of punitive damages awarded in the pharmaceutical case. Implications for jury selection are discussed.
