Abstract Since the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill, the Gulf of Mexico Research
Initiative (GOMRI) has studied the oil spill from the perspectives of ocean environment …

Estuarine and coastal geomorphology, biogeochemistry, water quality, and coastal food
webs in river-dominated shelves of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) are modulated by transport …

Natural sediment flocs are fragile and highly heterogeneous aggregates of biogenic and
minerogenic material typically with high porosity and low density. In aquatic environments …

Based on a validated underwater oil spill model and validated ocean hydrodynamic
background, the influence of oil− sediment interaction on the transport of underwater spilled …

Biophysical cohesion, introduced predominantly by Extracellular Polymeric Substances
(EPS) during mineral flocculation in subaqueous environments, plays important role in …

During time-periods oil slicks are in the marine environment (age-at-sea), weathering
causes significant changes in composition and mass loss (depletion) of oil spill chemicals …

When oil spills occur in turbid waters, the oil droplets and mineral grains can combine to
form oil-particle aggregates (OPAs). The formation of OPAs impacts the vertical transport of …

Storm surges are one of the most severe marine hazards, causing fatalities and devastating
infrastructure. It is important to conduct research on storm surge hazards to achieve disaster …

Motor oil is one of the most common pollutants in stormwater runoff in freshwater
ecosystems. It can form aggregates with solids (creating oil particle aggregates, OPAs) …
