Scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have detected a plume of hydrocarbons that is at least 22 miles long and more than 3,000 feet below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, a residue of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Honolulu, HI – The possible spread of the oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon rig over the course of one year was studied in a series of computer simulations by a team of researchers from the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
The British Cabinet of Ministers gathered for a special meeting to discuss the future of one of the world’s largest oil companies in the world, British Petroleum, in connection with the liquidation of the consequences of the ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
