The 2014 Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill & Ecosystem Science Conference, a forum for the research community in the Gulf of Mexico to share their latest scientific results, is pleased to announce the Conference plenary panelists. The conference, taking place in Mobile, Alabama from January 26-29, is expected to draw over 800 oil spill-related experts from academia, state & federal agencies and non-governmental organizations.
The five distinguished panelists, who will present on the final day of the Conference from 8:30-10:30 a.m., will be discussing their experience as part of the response teams during and after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and offer lessons learned for the future. Each panelist will also examine how academia currently fills various advisory roles, including those specified in the Oil Pollution Act, and the potential for assuming enhanced roles in future environmental disasters.
