Two University of Georgia marine sciences researchers, Samantha Joye and Patricia Medeiros, have received rapid response grants from the

National Science Foundation to fur- ther assess the environmental impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

Joye, Medeiros and colleagues from

UGA and other universities left last week on an expedition in the Gulf of

Mexico to locate, map and further characterize the deepwater plumes discovered in May in the Gulf of

Mexico. Joye, a professor in UGA’s department of marine sciences, part of the Franklin College of Arts and

Sciences, received $192,528 to pur- chase three cavity ring-down spec- troscopy systems. The instruments will allow Joye to quantify the com- position and concentration of methane, dissolved inorganic carbon and the dissolved organic carbon in seawater samples by identifying chemicals based on their interactions with light.

Medeiros, an assistant research sci- entist in marine sciences, also received an NSF rapid response grant, this one for $100,900, to purchase a gas chro- matograph coupled to a mass spec- trometer detector. She will use the instrument to characterize the organ- ic composition of sediment and par- ticulate carbon in samples collected in the Gulf.
