How the Deepwater Horizon Disaster Gave One Scientist New Direction
Corals are fascinating animals. Just like there would be no forests without trees, there would be no coral reefs without corals.
Research on Oil Biodegradation and Monitoring that Informs Spill Response
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the remediation efforts that followed raised many concerns about impacts on coastal and ocean environments.
Five Years After Gulf Oil Spill, Texas A&M Researchers Looking For Answers
As the fifth anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico approaches, numerous Texas A&M University scientists are involved in some of the most advanced research in the world on various projects related to the worst oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry
Natural Oil Dispersion Mechanism Found For Deep-Ocean Blowout
A first-of-its-kind study observed how oil droplets are formed and measured their size under high pressure.
Building Disaster Resilient Gulf Communities
How can communities build resilience to adverse events such as oil spills or hurricanes? A community’s ability to buffer or counteract stressors that disasters may cause or worsen depends on its people having and using social resources and networks.
Five Years Later: The Effects Of The Oil Spill
The five year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is less than a month away. Our beaches along the Gulf Coast are clean, but it’s estimated some four to 10 percent of the oil is still on the bottom of the Gulf.
Professor Contributes to Research on Oil Spills
Researching oceanic oil spills can be difficult when you work at a landlocked university like UC Merced.
Oil Spill Science Seminar: Five Years Later, What Have We Learned?
In this seminar, which is free and open to the public, scientists will present the latest fisheries-related research about the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and dispersant application on Gulf of Mexico habitats, communities, and individual species.
Oil Spill Science: The Conversations Continue
Last week more than 1,000 scientists, agency staff, students and others met in Houston, Texas, to continue the conversation about oil spill science at the 2015 Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and Ecosystems conference.
