“Bob the Drifter” Shares Ocean Transport Science in Fun, Innovative Video
Science that is understandable is science that is used.
Drifter Research to Improve Oil Movement Predictions
Organisers invited Dr Tamay Ozgokmen of the University of Miami to present results on ocean processes from his GLAD experiment conducted after the Deepwater Horizon incident to improve prediction models of oil transport.
Ozgokmen Presents Drifter Research from Oil-Spill Study at U.S. Climate Summit
Meeting organizers invited Dr. Tamay Ozgokmen with the University of Miami to present results on ocean processes from his team’s Grand Lagrangian Deployment (GLAD) experiment
National Academy of Sciences to Run Environmental Program from BP Settlement
On 15 November, the US government and BP Exploration and Production Inc reached a settlement that requires the company to pay $4 billion in penalties for the 20 April 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster.
Largest Drifter Project Ever Improves Oil Movement Forecasts in the Gulf of Mexico
A research consortium formed after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill has deployed more than 300 water drifters near the rig’s explosion site to study surface currents in the Gulf of Mexico. Known as the Grand Lagrangian deployment, it is the largest of its kind in history.

Satellite Company Provides Researchers With SPOT Satellite GPS Messengers(TM) to Complete an Unprecedented Oceanic Flow Study in Wake of Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
5 Million Data Points and Counting
As the Globalstar transmission shut down approaches, ending the GPS data collection phase of CARTHE’s Grand Lagrangian Deployment (GLAD), the team is still collecting data from the largest upper-ocean dispersion experiment of its kind.
Drifters in Path of Hurricane Isaac Provide New Insights on Ocean Currents
Hurricanes can pose significant risks to human and environmental health. However, a scientific “silver lining” exists in the midst of Hurricane Isaac.
Follow the Journey of CARTHE Drifters in the Gulf
Hundreds of data-collecting ocean drifters are “going with the flow” in the Gulf of Mexico. Their journey can be seen in an animated video that Dr. Bruce Lipphardt, with the CARTHE project team at the University of Delaware, generates and updates regularly.
Scientists Drop Drifters in Gulf of Mexico to Study Small Currents
GULFPORT, Mississippi — About 300 drifters are being deployed in the Gulf of Mexico around the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill site to help scientists develop a better model for predicting how material travels in the currents.
