Story Collider Unites Community, Research, and Restoration
Posted on May 11, 2017Many people have heard of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill and may have even kept up with its impacts in the following years. But how many have experienced a first-hand account from someone close to the spill? -
New technology measures small-scale currents that transport ocean plastics, oil spills
Posted on May 9, 2017Researchers at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science have developed a new technology to measure the currents near the ocean's surface that carry pollutants such as plastics and spilled oil. -
Studies Highlight Complexities in Connecting Larval Fish Health to Deepwater Horizon
Posted on May 9, 2017Scientists examined Red Snapper and Spanish Mackerel larvae before, during, and after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to determine if and how the spill may have affected them. -
Study Investigates Influence of Hurricanes on Ocean Surface Currents
Posted on May 4, 2017Scientists used GPS data collected from ocean drifters during Hurricane Isaac with a coupled atmosphere-wave-ocean model to better understand how hurricanes affect upper ocean circulation. The researchers found that hurricane-induced Stokes drift (wind-wave-driven water mass transport) created a cyclonic rotational flow to the storm’s left and an anticyclonic rotational flow to its right. -
Grad Student Novotny Searches for Oil Transport Pathways in Deep-Sea Fish Stomachs
Posted on May 2, 2017The high cost and small catch sizes associated with deep-sea research often limits scientists’ ability to study many deep-pelagic species. Mike Novotny examines the stomach contents of various bathypelagic fishes to better understand their feeding habits and collect valuable data. -
Jeff Chanton Honored with Highest Award for FSU Faculty
Posted on April 28, 2017The Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) congratulates Dr. Jeffrey (Jeff) Chanton, the John W. Winchester Professor of Oceanography, for receiving the Florida State University (FSU) 2017-2018 Robert O. Lawton Distinguished Professor award. -
Sea Grant Brings Partnership with GoMRI to NOAA for Oil Spill Preparedness
Posted on April 26, 2017The Sea Grant Oil Spill Outreach Program is collaborating with NOAA entities to extend the two-way dialogue with sectors who were impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. -
Study Analyzes Trends and Gaps in Oil Spill Literature Since 1968
Posted on April 25, 2017Researchers surveyed oil spill studies between 1968 and 2015 to characterize the field and describe changes. The team found that, despite its episodic nature, oil spill research is a rapidly expanding field with a growth rate greater than science as a whole.
