Blog Post Image: Scientists Train the Next Generation on Oil Spill Research

WHOI researcher Catherine Carmichael works alongside high school science teacher Shawn Walker to collect oiled sand patty samples for analysis. Walker’s Honors Marine Science students from West Florida High School of Advanced Technology in Pensacola will conduct field work on Feb. 28 at Pensacola beaches as part of the Gulf Oil Observers (GOO) project led by the Deep-C Consortium – a long-term study researching the effects of oil on the environment.
