(From Winter 2015 Newsletter) A number of researchers and students participated in the International Oil Spill Conference 2014 (IOSC) held May 5-8 in Savannah, Georgia. As a result, nine GoMRI Research articles, spanning multiple research consortia, were chosen from the presentations during the conference and published in the conference proceedings. (Research Board Chair, Rita Colwell comments on what such collaborative work means to GoMRI in the Note from the Research Board Chair.)
