2020 GoMOSES
February 3rd - 6th, 2020 | Tampa, FL
"For the Gulf of Mexico, 2020 is important for a number of reasons. For one, it marks the 10-year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, which took eleven lives and heralded the worst marine oil spill in the U.S. It also signifies the culmination of 10 years of dedicated research which has increased our knowledge of marine oil spill science, Gulf ecosystems, and the impacts of the spill to those ecosystems and communities."

|
2020 International Oil Spill Conference
|
May 11th - 14th, 2020 | New Orleans, LA
|
"The International Oil Spill Conference (IOSC) provides a vital forum for professionals from the international response community, private sector, government, and non-governmental organizations to come together to tackle the greatest challenges facing us with sound science, practical innovation, social engineering and imagination."

|
2020 CLEAN GULF Meeting
October 20th-22nd, 2020 |
San Antonio, TX
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center
"
The CLEAN GULF Conference & Exhibition is the premier annual event for industry and government from North America and beyond to come together and discuss planning, preparedness and response issues for oil and hazardous materials spills. It brings together all parties responsible for prevention and response operations from North America and beyond to hear best practices and build relationships vital to a successful response on land or water.

Sessions and meetings related to
Synthesis Core Areas 3, 6, 7a and 7b were held
at the GoMOSES Conference.
Researchers are working on delivering the various products in the final phase of C-IMAGE.
|

May 5-7, 2020, (Washington, DC)
Core Area 7B: Modeling for Synthesis
Core 7b
The main objective of the Modeling for Synthesis
workshop is to construct key research and policy questions using a future systems dynamics model framework. To achieve this goal, we will
first discuss the existing information and available modeling resources
needed to answer such questions. Through such discussions, we ultimately
hope to identify research areas requiring further model development and to
strategize
how future research can be conducted.

The toxic reach of Deepwater Horizon’s oil spill was much larger — and deadlier — than previous estimates, a new study says
|
|
“If you want to respond to this kind of spill, you have to know where the entire mass is, the amount of oil that came out of the well, and know that the footprint is not only on the surface, but in three dimensions,” - Claire B. Paris-Limouzy.

The Loop Podcasts are In!
|
|
The Loop is a series of podcasts which take an in depth look at C-IMAGE research. Partnering with Mind Open Media reporters Ari Daniel Shapiro and David Levin, our researchers share the importance of their studies and how they help our understanding of oil spills.

Episode 14 - Modeling Arctic Oil Spills
"The north slope of Alaska is as remote as it gets... i
t’s a region that’s rich in wildlife, and in oil. But even though wells and pipelines are being built up there, it’s still not clear exactly
how
the region’s delicate ecosystem would respond to a major spill."
|
|
Episode 15 - Asphalt Ecosystems
"Since 2003, scientists have found dozens of other asphalt volcanoes in the southern Gulf of Mexico. Each of them support huge colonies of unique life, like giant tube worms and blind shrimp. Animals exist in complete darkness, thousands of feet down, completely cut off from the surface. But here’s where things get really interesting—they get their energy from the asphalt itself."

Episode 16 - Panel Discussion
"For the past seven years, we've covered the work of scientists studying the aftermath of the 2011 deep water horizon oil spill, and today we've reached the end of the road. The research is winding down and this is our last podcast, which is pretty hard to believe. We're going to sit down with four of the key scientists from C-IMAGE, which is the center for integrative modeling and analysis of the Gulf ecosystem."

(Volume 52, Number 6, November/December 2018).
Guest editors Steve Murawski, Liesl Hotaling, and Sherryl Gilbert (University of South Florida)
and
Dana Yoeger (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
explained that a convergence of technology interests during the 2018 TechSurge workshop in New Orleans led to this special issue. Many of the workshop’s attendees were also attending the
Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill
and
Ecosystem Science Conference
