The USGS continues to gather scientific data and information on the environmental impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, providing decision support tools to help mitigate the effects of the oil spill and assist in restoration efforts. Specifically, scientists are collecting samples to find out the levels of toxicity to soils and water systems. Scientists are also collecting satellite imagery to assess the impact on wetlands and coasts. Take a look at satellite imagery of the Gulf as part of the Hazards Data Distribution System. Photos of USGS work in the Gulf of Mexico are available in the USGS Multimedia Gallery. Visit the USGS Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill website for complete information about the USGS’s response.
