Unlike the blown out Macondo well, scientific data surrounding last year’s oil spill has been coming out in a painfully slow trickle. As the oil started flowing, scientists soon realized the unprecedented opportunities arising from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe. Samples collected at the gushing wellhead are now providing new insight into the transport and ultimate . . . → Read More: CSI Macondo: Fingerprinting the oil that got away
I have to say, I’m pretty impressed with NOAA. If you’ve been to their homepage lately, you’ll notice that the key Deepwater Horizon links have been inserted into a nice little banner across the top of the site. The historic archive!

I just wanted to remind everyone that BP is still running ads like this on TV. When this came on, my mouth literally dropped and I yelled “Seriously, BP?” I worry that these tug-at-the-heartstring PR campaigns will subtly become more effective as time goes on–time heals all wounds, right? We’re getting barraged with BP’s ads . . . → Read More: Seriously, BP?
Although most of the media has now forgotten about that oil spill thing that happened last year, I’m consistently impressed by strength of ongoing citizen science projects in the Gulf of Mexico.
