Michael Carron (VIMS PhD ‘80), Director of the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative (GoMRI), reviews the results of 10+ years of research funded by the GOMRI in response to the major deep-water oil blowout of 2010. Dr. Carron will present an innovative model for industry-academia research response to significant man-made environmental threats, and discuss challenges and major findings as well as lessons learned in preparation for possible offshore drilling on the East Coast. After Hours lectures are designed for an adult audience. Registration required for all After Hours presentations. A Zoom link will be included in confirmation e-mail for optional remote attendance.
