Biological Effects of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil in Surface and Deep Ocean Species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Beginning with the use of industrial-strength detergents, dispersing agents have been employed in spill response for decades. The Corexit series of agents in common use today generally consist of non-ionic and/or anionic surfactants in a solvent base ...

2017 State-of the Science of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil (DDO) in U.S. Arctic Waters: Physical Transport and Chemical Behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Chemical dispersants were employed on an unprecedented scale during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and could be a response option should a large spill occur in Arctic waters. The use of dispersants in response to that spill raised

Influence of bioturbation by the polychaete Nereis diversicolor on the structure of bacterial communities in oil contaminated coastal sediments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Patterns of change in the structure of bacterial communities monitored by ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (RISA) in oil contaminated sediments inhabited or not by the marine polychaete Nereis diversicolor were studied during 45 days under laboratory

Extracting quasi-steady Lagrangian transport patterns from the ocean circulation: An application to the Gulf of Mexico

open access: yes, 2017
We construct a climatology of Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs), the concealed skeleton that shapes transport, with a twelve-year-long data-assimilative simulation of the sea-surface circulation in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM).
