Acoustic monitoring is an efficient technique for oil spill detection, and the development of
acoustic technology is conducive to achieving real-time monitoring of underwater oil spills …

Research funded under the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative provided new insights into the
biogeochemical processes influencing the fate of petroleum chemicals entering the Gulf of …

New tools and technology are needed to track hazardous agents such as oil and red tides in
our oceans. Rhodamine dye (a surrogate hazardous agent) was released into the Atlantic …

Tracking the subsea oil plume during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (DWH) was
conducted using in situ fluorescence via vertical profilers (n= 1157) and discrete sample …

Rivers convey a broad range of materials, such as sediment, nutrients, and contaminants.
Much of this transport can occur during or immediately after an episodic, pulsed event like a …

Adaptive control was applied to follower gliders in cooperating multiple glider teams on
missions to delineate underwater oil patches. The influence of water currents on the motion …

When spilled oil collects at depth, questions as to where and when to dispatch response
equipment become daunting, because such oil may be invisible by air, and underwater …
