项目摘要

The Environmental Chemical Sciences (ECS) program of the Division of Chemistry will support the collaborative RAPID research project of Prof. Thomas Bianchi of Texas A & M University, Prof. Robert Cook of Louisiana State University and Prof. Michael Perdue of Georgia Institute of Technology. The collaborative team will investigate the impact of oil contamination from the Deep Horizon Disaster in the Gulf of Mexico on the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the Louisiana coastal marshes. The study aims to prove that changes in the component signature of DOM collected from the Louisiana coastal marshes will be indicative of the impact of the Deep Horizon oil spill on geochemical processes in the Louisiana marshes. The team of investigators will utilize boats from the Louisiana Marine Universities Consortium (LUMCON), located in Terrebonne, LA to collect water samples from marshes along Terrebonne Bay. The samples will be filtered to collect the DOM from the water samples. Advanced analytical methods will be used to analyze the DOM content.The study is crucial to elucidate the impact of the Deep Horizon oil spill on the ecosystems along the Louisiana coast. Better understanding of this impact is imperative to development of strategies to restore the marshes to their condition prior to the Deep Horizon oil spill disaster.

化学部环境化学科学（ECS）项目将支持德克萨斯农工大学Thomas Bianchi教授、路易斯安那州立大学Robert Cook教授和佐治亚理工学院Michael Perdue教授的合作RAPID研究项目。该合作小组将调查墨西哥湾深地平线灾难造成的石油污染对路易斯安那州沿海沼泽溶解有机物 (DOM) 成分的影响。该研究旨在证明从路易斯安那州沿海沼泽收集的 DOM 成分特征的变化将表明深地平线石油泄漏对路易斯安那州沼泽地球化学过程的影响。研究小组将利用位于路易斯安那州特雷博恩的路易斯安那海洋大学联盟 (LUMCON) 的船只，从特雷博恩湾沿岸的沼泽地收集水样。样品将被过滤以从水样中收集 DOM。将使用先进的分析方法来分析 DOM 含量。这项研究对于阐明深海地平线漏油事件对路易斯安那州沿海生态系统的影响至关重要。更好地了解这种影响对于制定将沼泽恢复到深地平线漏油灾难之前的状态的策略至关重要。
