Mesocosm experiments to better understand hydrocarbon half-lives for oil and oil dispersant mixtures.
Concerns on the timing and processes associated with petroleum degradation were raised after the use of Corexit during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. There is a lack of understanding of the removal of oil associated with flocculate materials to the sediment. Mesocosm studies employing coastal and...
