Studies Describe how Oil Gets into Marine Snow, Improving Oil Fate Predictions
Posted on January 29, 2020Scientists conducted rolling table experiments to improve our understanding of how marine oil snow forms and to provide input parameters for models that predict oil transport via sinking marine snow. -
Grad Student Slayden Knows Age is More Than a Number for Oil-Exposed Deep-Sea Fishes
Posted on January 28, 2020The ocean’s deep-pelagic ecosystem is the largest and least understood habitat on Earth. In the Gulf of Mexico, it was the largest ecosystem affected by the Deepwater Horizon incident. -
Study Shows that Floating Bamboo Plates Capture Strength of Small-Scale Ocean Currents
Posted on January 27, 2020Researchers optically tracked 600 biodegradable bamboo plates floating in the Gulf of Mexico for 2.5 hours to better understand how small-scale currents (scales of minutes and meters) affect surface dispersion. -
Study Describes Seabed Conditions at Oil and Gas Seep Site in Gulf of Mexico
Posted on January 23, 2020Scientists employed autonomous underwater vehicle-borne seismo-acoustics and photography to provide insights into the origins, dynamics, and evolution of an active hydrocarbon seep in the Green Canyon Lease Block 600 (GC600). -

Sea Grant Publication Explains How Oil Spills Affect Mangroves
Posted on January 21, 2020The Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) is pleased to announce a new Sea Grant publication that discusses various ways that oil exposure can impact mangroves, which have partially submerged root systems that make them especially sensitive to contaminants. -
Study Confirms Sun Exposure Increases Oxygen Molecules in Oil Slicks
Posted on January 16, 2020Scientists compared laboratory-generated weathered oil with weathered oil samples collected during Deepwater Horizon to better understand how different processes, specifically photo-oxidation and bio-oxidation, affect how oil changes chemically and physically. -
