While much attention has focused on surface oil washing up along the shores of Gulf coast states, one cruise starting in mid-August will study the location and magnitude of subsurface oil plumes, and their effects [...]]]> http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/07/27/earth-institute-scientists-drill-into-the-oil-spill/feed/ 0 http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/07/15/cousteau-explores-the-gulf-oil-spill/ http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/07/15/cousteau-explores-the-gulf-oil-spill/#comments Thu, 15 Jul 2010 21:05:13 +0000 Samantha Tress http://blogs-admin.ei.columbia.edu/?p=4909 ...]]]> http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/07/15/cousteau-explores-the-gulf-oil-spill/feed/ 1 http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/06/30/how-to-clean-up-the-gulf-coastline-after-the-oil-spill-epa-workshop/ http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/06/30/how-to-clean-up-the-gulf-coastline-after-the-oil-spill-epa-workshop/#comments Wed, 30 Jun 2010 14:32:05 +0000 Julia Apland Hitz http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/water/?p=3350 http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/06/30/how-to-clean-up-the-gulf-coastline-after-the-oil-spill-epa-workshop/feed/ 0 http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/06/09/getting-under-the-surface/ http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/06/09/getting-under-the-surface/#comments Wed, 09 Jun 2010 13:04:44 +0000 Kevin Krajick http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/?p=3091 ...]]]> http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2010/06/09/getting-under-the-surface/feed/ 1
