It may take years before scientists determine the full impact of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But, utilizing the human-occupied submersible Alvin and the autonomous underwater vehicle AUV Sentry, researchers are about to investigate—and view first-hand—the possible effects of the spill at the bottom of the Gulf.
From Dec. 6-14, the mission will be relayed to the public as it happens on the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s website.
