Oil Spill Photos
A collection of photographs is provided below. Students enrolled in RSOC 5650/6650 during Spring 2012, have permission to use any of these photographs on their project posters. All others must contact the photographer (mrw0016@auburn.edu) for permission. These photos were taken between June 11 and Jun 13, 2010, just as the oil from Deepwater Horizon reached the shores of Alabama (Figure 1). The photographs are grouped by location. Therefore, it may be necessary to look through each collection (Figures 2 to 12) to find those that are most applicable to any particular topic. To access a collection, click on a photo below and it will take you to a group of thumbnails. A high resolution photograph can be downloaded by clicking on a thumbnail.
