Oil Spill Impacts – Frost Institute for Data Science & Computing

Comparison of the Spatial Extent, Impacts to Shorelines, and…

The ever-growing increase in deep-sea oil explorations in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) has been raising concerns with regard to future oil spills. Major oil spills in the GoM such as the Deepwater Horizon (DWH 2010) and the Ixtoc 1 (1979) resulted in extensive pollution of the pelagic, sea-floor, and coastal ecosystems.
