A research framework to integrate cross-ecosystem responses to tropical cyclones.
(2020-06)Tropical cyclones play an increasingly important role in shaping ecosystems. Understanding and generalizing their responses is challenging because of meteorological variability among storms and its interaction with ecosystems. ... -
How Quickly Will the Offshore Ecosystem Recover from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill? Lessons Learned from the 1979 Ixtoc-1 Oil Well Blowout.
(2020-10)The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) accident occurred on 20 April 2010 in the Northern Gulf of Mexico and resulted in a deep-sea plume of petroleum hydrocarbons and a marine oiled snow sedimentation and flocculent accumulation ... -
The expanded footprint of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico deep-sea benthos.
(2020-06)The 2010 Deepwater Horizon blowout off the coast of Louisiana caused the largest marine oil spill on record. Samples were collected 2–3 months after the Macondo well was capped to assess damage to macrofauna and meiofauna ...
