Using SIPPER3 for anomalous particle detection
Detection of Anomalous Particles from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Using the SIPPER3 Underwater Imaging Platform The aim of this study is to investigate a data mining approach to help assess consequences of oil spills in the maritime environment. The…
Using MODIS and MERIS to detect seeps
In search of oil seeps in the Cariaco basin using MODIS and MERIS medium resolution data The Cariaco basin with its high sedimentation rates and active faulting make it a favorable place for active oil seeps to occur. Information on…
How did dispersants impact subsea oil transport?
Evolution of the Macondo Well Blowout: Simulating the Effects of the Circulation and synthetic Dispersants on the Subsea Oil Transport, Environmental Science and Technology During the Deepwater Horizon incident, crude oil flowed into the Gulf of Mexico from 1522 m…
Reference for Connectivity Modeling System (CMS)
Connectivity Modeling System: A probabilistic modeling tool for the multi-scale tracking of biotic and abiotic variability in the ocean Pelagic organisms' movement and motion of buoyant particles are driven by processes operating across multiple, spatial and temporal scales. We developed…
Movement of the DwH Oil Spill Patch
Surface Evolution of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Patch: Combined Effects of Circulation and Wind Induced Drift Following the Deepwater Horizon blowout, major concerns were raised about the probability that the Loop Current would entrain oil at the surface of…
