NASA Radar Penetrates Thick, Thin of Gulf Oil Spill
Description: Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena have developed a method to use a specialized NASA 3-D imaging radar to characterize the oil in oil spills, such as the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The research can be used to improve response operations during future marine oil spills. [Source: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory]
