 Florida
International University brings expertise in a number of key areas
to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Focus areas include marine chemistry
and water quality, ecotoxicology, marine ecology, economic impacts,
and energy policy. FIU is well-poised to monitor water quality and
ecosystem dynamics in south Florida in response to the spill as well
as the long-term impacts of the spill on marine organisms. Our existing
long-term records of water quality and the status of the ecosystems
of south Florida provide a wealth of data than can be used to assess
the impacts the spill may have in south Florida. FIU also provides
historical perspectives on previous spills in the Gulf of Mexico.
The following units at FIU are key participants
in the Oil Spill Academic Task Force:
