The Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium research center and Tulane University are leading two of the eight BP oil leak research projects announced Tuesday in the biggest release of BP research dollars since last year’s Deepwater Horizon oil disaster.
...Eight out of nearly 80 proposals were selected. The eight awards total $112.5 million over three years of BP’s entire $500 million commitment to independent research in the aftermath of the Gulf oil leak.
The project led by LUMCON Executive Director Nancy Rabalais is “The Effects of the Macondo Oil Spill on Coastal Ecosystems,” and the research led by Tulane’s Vijay John is “The Science and Technology of Dispersants as Relevant to Deep Sea Oil Releases.”
...
Rabalais said her team’s work will focus on the ongoing effects of the oil on Louisiana marshlands out until the end of the continental shelf. That includes everything from the environmental aspects to the impacts on seafood, insects and the entire ecosystem, she said.
...The LUMCON project is worth almost $13 million over three years.
My mom is a badass.
