Oil Spill Samples Arrive from Louisiana
Detailed Description
On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon Drilling Platform exploded and sank, causing the largest oil spill yet recorded. Samples from the oil spill were collected by Louisiana USGS scientists Greg Swayze and Charlie Demas and sent for analysis in Menlo Park, CA. The Louisiana samples were discovered on several of Louisiana's barrier islands, including Grand Isle, a large island that supports tourist beaches and sport fishing.
