Implemented origin and destinations attribution of AIS ship tracks in shapefiles. Researched ship and marine terminal information to inform and develop oil attribution. * Casey Hilliard: Developed code for attributing AIS ship tracks with marine terminal origin and destinations. * Ryah Rondolo: Researched past oil spills and developed database used to assign spill fraction from cargo capacity. .. _Rachael Mueller: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachael-davida-mueller/ Contact information: * Susan Allen * Stephanie Chang * Haibo Niu * Ben Moore-Maley * Doug Latornell * Rachael Mueller * Ashutosh Bhudia * Vicky Do
