Louisiana Students Look for Solutions to the Oil Spill
Students at Hurst Middle School usually study science by rebuilding and preserving wetlands near their homes.  Now they are searching for solutions to the Deep Horizon Oil Spill off the Louisiana coast line.  Their science teacher, Barry Guillot has been guiding them to use the scientific method to find their own solutions to save our precious wetlands.

Interview With Deep Horizon Survivor

"We sat there for probably six or seven hours, and watched the rig burn. I mean, it just -- it makes you sick to your stomach, just watching that and known that -- that you're missing guys, and that they're up there somewhere, not knowing if they're alive or dead or if they jumped off and somebody's looking for them in a boat."

Deep Horizon Rig Worker Christopher Choy on PBS Newshour May 10, 2010.

Oil Spill - Dauphin Island, Alabama

The efforts to stem the flow of oil from the icy depths of the Gulf of Mexico have failed. As balls of oil wash up on Dauphin Island, Alabama, BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles said,  "I wouldn't say it's failed yet,"

"What I would say is what we attempted to do ... didn't work." According  to a Mother's Day report from the Associated Press.

Oil Spill Disaster - Simulated Drifter Trajectories from College of Marine Science USF

Oil Spill, Oil Spill Cleanup, Louisiana Oil Spill, Gulf Coast Oil Spill, Deep Horizon, Florida Oil Spill
Oil Spill Disaster - Simulated Drifter Trajectories created by a collaborative effort between the Ocean Circulation Group and the Optical Oceanography Laboratory at College of Marine Science, University of South Florida, and the results are provided as is can be found at http://ocg6.marine.usf.edu/~liu/oil.html 

"This is an effort to track the Deepwater Horizon (Macondo well, designated by the red circle) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico after the oil rig explosion on April 20, 2010. Drifter trajectories were calculated based on the three-hourly surface currents from the West Florida Shelf ROMS hindcastt/forecast system. Particles were released from the sunken rig site every three hours since 05/02/2010 18:00 UTC, assuming continual oil spill from the well. The initial locations of the drifters were taken from satellite remotely sensed oil slick patches at that time. The particles (difters) are shown as black dots, and their trajectries in magenta. Sea surface temperature (color contours, units in deg C) was superimposed with the surface current vectors to indicate the surface ocean circulation. The velocity data were subsampled every the third grid points in both east and north directions for better visulization." Source: http://ocg6.marine.usf.edu/~liu/oil.html
