NOAA Live! Webinar 18: The Job of a NOAA Oil Spill Response Scientist

NOAA scientists respond to more than 150 oil spills every year. It is their job to provide the best available science that guides emergency response decision making. April 2020 marked the 10 year anniversary of the largest marine oil spill in U.S. history - the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Meet two of the scientists who worked that disaster and hundreds of other emergency incidents, and learn about the different ways science is used in oil spill response.
