Rutgers' Nicole Fahrenfeld leads research documenting impacts in stream water and sediments from a wastewater disposal facility

LSU faculty will lead an important session, where key information on how the Deepwater Horizon oil spill has affected coastal ecosystems will be presented

Environmentally friendly material tweaked to soak up to five times its weight in oil, float four months in icy, rough waters

Birds captured in habitats that were exposed to the oil had a different chemical signature in their tissues than birds found in areas that were not exposed to the oil

Findings could lead to cleaner oil spill cleanups

Discovery is a timely finding as controversial Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project has been approved by Canada's National Energy Board

Study finds impacts lingered much longer than expected

Experimentation unit will enable researchers to test the ability of organisms found in deep water environments to deal with the effects of a spill

Report recommends prioritized research on the chemistry, properties, and spill behavior of various types of crude oil

Results show that naturally occurring communities of oil-degrading microorganisms are quite proficient at degrading oil
