As James Cameron did in Titanic, Deepwater Horizon makes some effort to give us a simplified technical précis ahead of time of the disaster we’re about to see — although the explanation here, preciously illustrated with a can of Coke, a straw, and some honey, offers only the haziest ...
already initiated since the Deepwater Horizon disaster Fundamental reform will be needed in both the structure of those in charge of regulatory oversight and their internal decisionmaking process to ensure their political autonomy,technical expertise,and their full consideration of environmental protection ...
The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was the largest accidental marine oil spill in history, releasing nearly 5 million barrels of crude oil. Crude oil causes both lethal and sublethal effects on marine organisms, and sensory systems have the potential to be strongly affected. Marine fishes rely upon...
On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon blowout of the Macondo well began in Mississippi Canyon block 252, deepwater Gulf of Mexico (Fig. 1). Eleven people died as a result of the Deepwater Horizon explosion, and over the next three months, an estimated 4 million barrels of oil leaked...
He “did no wrong on the Deepwater Horizon.” Sure, he did not wrong but just in case, he pleads the 5th. Hope this "conscientious" man finally wakes up and does the right thing. If he does not, it will haunt him for the rest of his life. It would be interesting to know if ...
Exposure to ele- vated levels of Deepwater Horizon-derived PAHs is thus the most logical explanation for the elevated levels of PAHs we detected in fish in 2011 (Figure 4). A Deepwater Horizon exposure route is supported by the strong similarity between the PAH composition of Red Snap- per...
An unusual low oxygen zone in Gulf of Mexico waters off the Alabama shore has persisted for more than a month, and evidence points to the ongoing Deepwater Horizon oil spill as the cause. Oil spills can deplete oxygen in water by providing a source of food to microbes that grow on oil ...
