Vulnerability and resilience of living marine resources to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill: an overview
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) was the
largest and perhaps most consequential accidental marine oil spill in global history. This …

Observation and quantification of inertial effects on the drift of floating objects at the ocean surface
We present results from an experiment designed to better understand the mechanism by
which ocean currents and winds control flotsam drift. The experiment consisted of deploying …

Connectivity of coastal and neritic fish larvae to the deep waters
Four ichthyoplankton cruises and backward tracking experiments were conducted to study
the connectivity of coastal and neritic fish larvae over the continental slope and to the …

Physical Transport Processes that Affect the Distribution of Oil in the Gulf of Mexico
Physical transport processes such as the circulation and mixing of waters largely determine
the spatial distribution of materials in the ocean. They also establish the physical …

Retention and export of planktonic fish eggs in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico
To help determine whether planktonic eggs of fishes on the West Florida Shelf (WFS) are
retained locally or exported elsewhere, we collected fish eggs by plankton net from 17 …

Effects of petroleum by-products and dispersants on ecosystems
Gulf of Mexico ecosystems are interconnected by numerous physical and biological
processes. As a result of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) spill, some normal ecological …

Surface connection between the Ionian Sea and different areas of the Mediterranean derived from drifter data
The surface connection between the Ionian Sea (central Mediterranean Sea) and the
surrounding areas is studied by looking at the statistical properties of 1632 near-surface …
