Study Observes Mobile Bay Plume Dynamics on Coastal Circulation
Scientists monitored a major river discharge event in Mobile Bay in March 2011 to better understand how such inputs affect Gulf of Mexico nearshore water transport.
Study Suggests Coastal Marine Animals Assimilated Carbon from Deepwater Horizon
Scientists measured radiocarbon levels in coastal invertebrates and fishes (such as oysters and catfish) to evaluate impacts from the 2010 oil spill on Gulf of Mexico food webs.
Study Estimates Carbon, Likely from Deepwater Horizon Spill, in Gulf Sediment
Scientists measured the natural abundance of radiocarbon (14C) in sediments near the Deepwater Horizon spill site and estimated the location and amount of carbon derived from crude oil or gas.
Study Finds Three Ways for Oil Spill to Impact Gulf Seaweed
Alabama scientists investigated oil spill effects on floating Sargassum, a critical seaweed habitat for many important Gulf species.
