No one can change history, but we can learn from it. That’s what CWC scientists are doing as they study the heavily-oiled Louisiana coastal marshes affected by the Deepwater Horizon spill.
The Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) community congratulates one of its own, Dr. Samantha “Mandy” Joye, on her selection as an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Fellow.
Louisiana State University scientists simulated Deepwater Horizon oiling scenarios with a dominant Mississippi River Delta marsh reed and analyzed its reaction to oil exposure.
GoMRI has selected 12 research consortia to conduct scientific studies of the impacts of oil, dispersed oil, and dispersant on the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem and public health.
Project Activities
CARTHE Uses Drones in Oil Spill Research The use of drones during the Surfzone Coastal Oil Pathways Experiment (SCOPE) helped scientists from CARTHE study how oil moves from offshore onto our beaches. Check out this Waterlust film to learn how they did it.
C-IMAGE Plans for Horizon 2020 Event Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation program ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) in addition to the private investment that this money will attract.
DEEP-C Interns Gain Real-World Research Experience Nine summer interns were paired with leading scientists and experts to work on Deep-C research projects at the University of West Florida, the Naval Research Laboratory at Stennis Space Center, Florida State University, and Valdosta State University.
DROPPS Semester-by-the-Sea Award Winners DROPPS students Sara Garcia and Andrew Kang garner 1st and 3rd place awards in the annual Marine Science Competition with their oil spill research.
