             abstract = "During the last quarter of 2019, the beaches, mangroves, and 
                         estuaries of Northeast Brazil received an unprecedented volume of 
                         crude oil from the sea, which became the worst environmental 
                         disaster ever to reach the Brazilian coast. The oil, having 
                         reached the shores completely unnoticed, left both society and 
                         government agents completely clueless on (i) where the oil was 
                         coming from; (ii) how much oil was still in the ocean to reach the 
                         shorelines; and (iii) which beaches were going to be affected 
                         next! By exploring remote sensing data and ocean numerical 
                         modeling, along with oil dispersion chemistry on sea water, this 
                         study investigates the possible origin and path of the spill and 
                         whether it could have been detected from space. The oil dispersion 
                         modeling simulations performed for this investigation revealed a 
                         possible region and timing of the oil spill, also indicating the 
                         likelihood of it being advected toward the shoreline under the 
                         ocean surface.",
