Photo: BP BP Oil Spill Post-Mortem A team of U.S. scientists from Columbia University has just published a paper about a review of video footage from the BP oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico last Spring and Summer. Using a technique called “optical plume velocimetry” and other analysis techniques, they were able to estimate how much oil escaped the Macondo well between April 20th and the moment the leak was plugged on July 15th (with final confirmation that the well was stable only on Sept… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via CFL Interview with STREAM founders Philippe Cousteau and Casi Calloway As anyone who’s followed our commentary of the BP Gulf spill (and how could you miss it?) knows, one of the primary difficulties in telling the story of the disaster was simply getting access to it. Incidents aplenty where journalists were turned away, blocked off, even threatened with severe fines for attempting to cover the impacted areas. And now, the mainstream media is fast losing interest in the story altogether, and moving on. But the problems in t… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo via EarthEcho International Philippe Cousteau, the renowned oceans advocate, has been doing some of the best reporting on the Gulf out there (some of it has been published here on TreeHugger ). I caught up to him at the 2010 Clinton Global Initiative, where he’d just launched a student-citizen journalism program called STREAM — which he discussed further in an interview I’ll publish tomorrow. But with the news coming last week that leaking we… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Dublin-based interior design company Think Contemporary seems to have heeded the call, launching a line of upcycled furniture that appears to have found its own unique voice….

Image via USA Today Relief Wells May be Later Used for Drilling While we were all quietly celebrating the news that the Macondo well that spewed nearly 5 million barrels of oil into the Gulf was finally officially “dead” , there were nagging concerns that nevertheless refused to be silenced. For example, will US policy towards offshore drilling change in any meaningful way? Will the practice be safer? Or, more symbo… Read the full story on TreeHugger

There’s been a well-documented gray area surrounding the cooperative operations of BP and federal governmental agencies in the response to the Gulf spill. Questions were raised about press access, for instance, as the government seemed to be abetting BP in restricting media access to sensitive or potentially embarrassing spill-impacted sites. Later, there was the NOAA’s report that 75% of the oil had vanished — such fine news for B… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Satellite photo taken May 24th, 2010, by NASA. Photo: NASA , CC. This Story is Far From Over! The bad news about the BP oil spill aren’t over. Researchers have taken soil samples from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico and discovered that a lot of the oil that some thought had evaporated or dissipated has actually just settled on the sea floor. Samples taken by the science vessel Oceanus show that the oil can be found for dozens of miles in all directions around the busted well location…. Read the full story on TreeHugger
