Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill In-Person

With the upcoming April anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the library gallery will feature photographs of deep sea fauna produced as part of the DEEPEND Consortium while the atrium will showcase original art pieces commissioned by the C-IMAGE consortium and the USF College of Marine Sciences.  This event will be the opening Reception for this exhibit with speaker discussing the DEEPEND and C-IMAGE research. Featured artists will also be there selling prints of their artwork.
 
Light refreshments will be served and talks will begin at 5:00pm. This event is open to the public.
 
Oil Spill Artwork: Three Tampa Bay artists represent the findings of the C-IMAGE consortium through ten original art pieces. Representing ongoing studies into deep-sea oil plumes, sea floor recovery and oil exposure in fishes, the artwork conveys the themes of a two-volume book series synthesizing the variety of Gulf-wide oil spill studies.
 
Deep-sea fauna:  Studying the deep Gulf of Mexico (200-1,500 m), the DEEPEND consortium collected thousands of deep sea animals studying the health and distribution of previously unstudied waters. Professional photographer Danté Fenolio captures the beauty and intricacies in both newly discovered species and more common species of deep-sea nekton.
