Team will board the R/V Weatherbird II for the longest research cruise to date in a six-year plan to fully understand 2010 and 1979 oil spills ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (July 28, 2016) – Researchers from the University of South Florida…
This study confirms that the entrainment of oil and the breakup into droplets are separate processes governed by separate parameters that can and should be included in spilled oil fate modelling. The results presented demonstrate that in most conditions, entrainment…
How much Sargassum was in contact with oil from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill? Using Landsat and AVIRIS satellite imagery and 2010-2011 NRDA observations, the authors estimated Sargassum coverage in oiled areas ranged from 1296 ± 453 km2 (for areas with…
