GoMRI Advances Science Four Years after Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

Complete News, GOMRI Generated StoriesBy Leslie SmithApril 18, 2014

Since August 2011, eight research consortia funded by the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) have been working hard to understand impacts from and responses to the Deepwater Horizon incident.

Going after a literal “deeper understanding,” researchers are currently making multiple trips to the blowout site 5,000 feet below water surface.

Beginning in 2011, Alvin, the nation’s only deep-sea research submersible, underwent an extensive upgrade to expand the sub’s capabilities. From March 13 to 26 2014, scientists will test the new sub for the first time on a Science Verification Cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. In April 2014, scientist Samantha Joye will lead a research team to the Deepwater Horizon site and use Alvin to assess the health of the area.
