USGS Collects Sediments Samples at Pascagoula Beach in Mississippi ca. October 2010
Légende
USGS Mississippi Water Science Center scientists Jessica Quintana and Darrell Wilson are collecting a bulk sediment sample at Pascagoula Beach, Pascagoula, MS (MS-45). Bulk sediment samples collected along the Gulf of Mexico shoreline are analyzed for oil-fingerprint, bacteria-fingerprint, metals, nutrients, oil and grease, and a suite of organic compounds. USGS analyses of the sediment will be used to identify chemical and biological changes that may have been caused by the arrival of crude oil product from the failure of the Deepwater Horizon well in April 2010.
