GISR in 60 Seconds
This cruise is part of the Gulf Integrated Spill Response (GISR) Consortium, aiming to understand and predict the fundamental behavior of petroleum fluids in the ocean environment. This capability is critical to inform decisions during response to oil spills and for development of mitigation plans. Scientists will acoustically and visually map the bubble plume through the water column at several different times (about once or twice per day) while on-site.
Gulf Integrated Spill Research (GISR)
This cruise is part of the Gulf Integrated Spill Response (GISR) Consortium, funded by the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI). The vision of the GISR Consortium is to understand and predict the fundamental behavior of petroleum fluids in the ocean environment. This capability is critical to inform decisions during response to oil spills and for development of mitigation plans, ultimately yielding significant environmental and financial savings.
