Abstract:

One year after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, LSU researchers traveled to areas of coastal Louisiana that were heavily impacted by the spill in 2010. The goal was to find submerged residues of oil that may still linger in bottom sediments adjacent to heavily oils marshes. Locations include areas around the

Purpose:

To find and analyze submerged residues of oil that may still linger in bottom sediments adjacent to heavily oils marshes.
