A new study that explores various models of oil spill and dispersant projections has been published in Marine Pollution Bulletin. The study, conducted by Texas A&M and others, developed models that tested 14 cases of accidental oil well blowouts. The…
A recent study from the University of Delaware published in Aquatic Biology explored the effects of oil-spill related chemicals on the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi. M. leidyi is an important species in the pelagic ecosystem, acting as both predator and prey…

A recent study published in Deep-Sea Research II, conducted by researchers at Eckerd College, University of South Florida, and Franklin & Marshall College, characterizes the sedimentation geochemistry of cores from sites around the Deepwater Horizon Oil spill. The work done by this…
High-pressure visual experimental studies of oil-in-water dispersion droplet size In a recent study published in Chemical Engineering Science from the University of Western Australia (UWA) and University of Miami (UM), C-IMAGE researchers have deployed unique experimental equipment to better understand…
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations across the Florida Panhandle continental shelf and slope after the BP MC 252 well failure Abstract The Florida Panhandle continental shelf environment was exposed to oil from the BP oil well failure in the Gulf of…
Effect of high pressure on hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria The blowout of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 occurred at a depth of 1500 m, corresponding to a hydrostatic pressure of 15 MPa. Up to now, knowledge about…
Habitat-specific density and diet of rapidly expanding invasive red lionfish, Pterois volitans, populations in the Northern Gulf of Mexico Invasive lionfish were first reported in the Gulf of Mexico in the summer of 2010. Their density and size distributions were…
Enhancing the ocean observing system to meet restoration challenges in the Gulf of Mexico As a result of fines and penalties generated by the settlement of civil and criminal actions and the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) claims…
