When oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill began approaching land, one proposed response was to divert Mississippi River water and sediment into the marshes to try and push surface oil more towards the Louisiana-Texas shelf. Linlin Cui is investigating the impacts of Mississippi River diversions on Barataria Bay hydrodynamics to help inform how future oil spill responders plan and execute freshwater diversions.

ACER Blog Explains Mass Spectrometry
A mass spectrometer is an important scientific instrument that researchers use to determine the masses of specific chemical elements in a sample. It has applications to many different fields, including genetics, biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, environmental science, geology, and ecology.
C-IMAGE Releases Aerial Video of OneGulf Expedition
The short clip depicts scientists and crew working aboard the R/V Weatherbird II to learn more about the long-term fate of two of the world’s largest subsea oil spills, the 1979 Ixtoc-I and the 2010 Deepwater Horizon.
CONCORDE Representatives Attend Women in Science Event
Several consortium staff members attended a women in science lunch event at the University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, where Dr. Marie des Neiges Leonard facilitated a discussion about the importance of mentoring early career scientists.
DROPPS Researchers Participate in Film and Discussion Series
The UTMSI event featured the films Can the Gulf Survive? and Dispatches from the Gulf, and consortium scientists answered questions from the audience after the screenings.
