Gulf Oil Spill Scientific Symposium - Consortium for Ocean Leadership
More Information
The BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill is having significant ecological impacts on the Gulf of Mexico and coastal states
in the region. As the nation responds to this unprecedented spill, non-federal scientists can play a major role in the
efforts to understand and combat the impacts of this spill. The Consortium for Ocean Leadership is hosting this symposium to identify for the federal agencies the existing gaps in the scientific knowledge; opportunities
to fill those gaps; and priorities for short- and long-term research needs to understand the impact of the spill on the
Gulf ecosystems and human health. Ocean Leadership is working with NOAA and other government organizations as
partners of this event. June 2-3

WAVCIS, Coastal Studies Institue, LSU
More Information
WAVCIS (wave current surge information system) is a monitoring system in the Gulf of Mexico comprised of meteorological, oceanographic instruments mounted on oil platforms. The data are received at LSU via satellite. A second component of the data involves oceanographic and meteorological data computed using high-powered computers at LSU's Coastal Studies Institute, School of the Coast and Environment. Information is obtained from offshore on a real-time basis and is available worldwide on the web. Oil spill responders, State and Federal agencies are utilizing the data extensively.
