Bob The Drifter Inspires Singapore Classroom to Conduct Oil Spill Research Experiment
A fourth grade class at Singapore American School found Bob the Drifter and the CARTHE science group while researching ocean science and pollution online.
Grad Student Laxague is Making Waves Using Sea-surface Ripples to Detect Oil
Nathan Laxague studies a small-scale subject matter that has potentially large-scale applications. Capillary waves – or ripples – on the ocean surface can indicate the presence of a film or oil slick on the water’s surface, making them “an important link in the chain of oil spill response.”
Study Evaluates Ocean Current Prediction Models
Scientists with the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) at Stennis Space Center in Mississippi compared the accuracy and reliability of real-time ocean modeling forecast systems for near-surface currents.
GoMRI Advances Science Four Years after Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
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.
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
