Award Winning Video Teaches Drone Technology for Oil Spill Research
The Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative congratulates the CARTHE research team for their first place award-winning video Drones at the Beach.
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.”
Student Drifter Competition for Coastal Oil Experiment has Cascading Wins
It was a tall order, but high school students rose to the challenge: they integrated physics, engineering, and scientific curiosity and created functional data-gathering drifters.
