The Loop, C-IMAGE Research
by David Levin
The Loop is an audio series about the mud, microbes, and mammals in the Gulf of Mexico following theandoil spills. Researchers are focusing their attention on the Gulf of Mexico in an attempt to find out how the region's ecosystem was affected by these disasters. They've been working to discover what happened to the oil chemically and physically, and learn about its impact on life in and around the Gulf. In this series, learn about the various experiements and studies, and the societal effects of their findings.

The Gulf's Big Blowout - Episode 7
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill is a recent memory for most, although scientists are studying its impact on the Gulf, predicting how it might affect the region decades from now is a challenge. One team of resarchers, however, thinks it might be possible to predict its future impact by…

Dispersants and New Solutions - Episode 6
Microbiologist Rudi Müller says that after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, a large amount oil may have been eaten by bacteria—and those little critters could offer clues to new methods of cleaning up oil spills in the future. In his lab in Hamburg, Germany, Müller is growing these bacteria in...

Modeling the Gulf - Episode 4
A small team of researchers at the University of South Florida uses findings from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to create a virtual version of the Gulf ecosystem inside a computer. It's a staggeringly complex goal, but if they're successful in building their model, they may be able to predict…
