Study: Dispersants Can Move Hydrocarbons Faster and Deeper into Gulf Sand
Scientists studying the fate of oil from the Deepwater Horizon incident published their findings in the Public Library of Science (PLoS ONE). "Researchers concluded that the addition of dispersants can increase the movement of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in saturated (wet) permeable sediments of up to two orders of magnitude. And in their discussion, the authors suggest two possible impacts on oil degradation as a result of PAHs moving deeper and faster into sands." Read the article.
New Marine Device Used for Scientific Observations in the Gulf of Mexico
Deep-C's SailBuoy, ArgoKnot, was launched on March 15, 2013 approximately 11 nautical miles (nm) south of Cape San Blas. She was at sea for approximately two months, during which time she sailed autonomously approximately 840nm on a pre-determined cruise track in the Gulf of Mexico, specifically near the De Soto Canyon.
