In the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI) launched a $500 million mission to study the effect of oil spills on the environment and public health. The Sea Grant Science Outreach Program honors the GoMRI legacy with a series of publications and presentations showcasing the organization’s contributions to oil spill science research.

SYNTHESIS PUBLICATIONS

The purpose of these publications is to exclusively reflect findings from synthesis activities supported GoMRI, and therefore GoMRI synthesis documents are the primary references. The summaries may also include peer-reviewed publications and other reports cited in the GoMRI synthesis activities that help to provide foundation for the topic.
