Abstract
During the first two weeks of December of 2005, NATO sponsored an Advanced Study Institute (ASI) In Istanbul, Turkey. Part of this ASI involved a case study of a terrorist attack, where a chemical was assumed to be dumped into Sulunger Lake in Turkey. This chapter documents the response developed by the ASI participants to this scenario, in terms of hydrodynamic transport, ecosystem effects, and decision making.
