"A remarkable story of energetic scientific response to a huge and tragic oil spill. How $500 million in support from a generous corporation and leadership of a wise woman quickly built and linked new teams to assess the fate of the oil—from giant undersea plumes, surface wind and waves, microbes and sunshine, and the impacts on marine life and human health. A successful model for all." - Peter G. Brewer, ocean chemist and senior scientist at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute
