Bun ▲ University faculty and students gathered at the Arch June 8 for a vigil to commemorate the 50th day since the Gulf oil spill began. Professor talks oil to Congress Researcher presents spill data in news conference By DALLAS DUNCAN The Red & Black The solution to pollu tion is not dilution. So said Samantha Joye, a department of marine sciences professor, in a June 8 press conference. Joye spent several weeks in the Gulf of Mexico inves tigating a 15-mile-wide oil plume she and her team discovered near the leak ing remains of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig. “The core feature is between 1,100 and 1,300 meters, but you do get spreading out throughout the water column,” she said. “It's not a constant depth in the water that’s laterally flowing out from the well. The plume is very zig zaggy." She addressed Congress with her findings in the Gulf on e JOYE June 9, but spent the press conference summarizing her research to-date and answering questions about the breadth of the spill's effects. “When we were out there, we did as many casts as we could to character ize [the plume’s] features,” she said, adding it would take close to six weeks to truly tease apart the plume’s features. Joye’s team spent two weeks in the Gulf and gathered 91 data sets about oxygen concentra tion, three of which she had on display at the con ference. She said the far- Bass fishing duo take college championship By jamie McDonough The Red & Buck Two University Ashing teammates reeled in an unusual catch May 28 $6,000, to be exact. After four days of battling more than 90 degree weather on Dallas/ Fort-Worth’s Lewisville Lake impoundment, University of Georgia's Ben Cleary and Bo Page won the 2010 Boat US Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship, and the $6,000 first-place prize that went along with it. The money will be used by the University of Georgia Bass Fishing Club. “I knew we were on some pretty good Osh after day one,” Page said. “I So Gift p.m. tstorms.

She said the plume is moving at a rate of 10 cen timeters per second, and research is still being done on how to best handle the amount of oil and gas in the Gulf. "In my opinion there is really no good way to reme diate the deep water,” Joye said. “The oil's not in a form that’s easily removed.” The deep-water oil, which has been treated with a soap-like disper sant, is broken down into small particles that are hard to see, even in sam ples. She said the samples her team took had to sit for a while before the oil settled out. However, she added, she does think the dispersants are doing what they are supposed to do, and are effective. Unfortunately, Joye said, samples of the three dispersants have yet to be obtained for research pur poses. One major aspect of the oil spill Joye was able to study, however, was the amount of methane, a greenhouse gas, found in the plume. According to her data, concentrations of methane are increasing in the water column closer to the spill site and reduced farther out, she said. The plume’s methane concentration is between See OIL, mge 2 felt pretty conOdent because we were Ashing in spots that were reloaded with Ash every day.” The dynamic duo reeled against more than 300 anglers from across the United States in hopes of reeling in the highest combined weight of bass.

Originally, the group looked at several different sites to build the garden and finally chose a location on South Milledge Avenue near the horticulture greenhouses, he said. Because the property is owned by the University, the organiza tion did not have to purchase it, he said. “It was the perfect place,” Douglass said, citing the closeness of resources such as water and bathroom facilities as reasons for choosing the spot. The group plans to have workdays every Wednesday, Saturday and possibly every Monday during the sum mer.
