Mechanical Engineering Professor Igor Mezic, Project Scientist Sophie Loire, and Undergraduate Patrick Clary are three in a large group of UCSB scientists, researchers and engineers who have responded to the oil spill by pooling their considerable expertise. Working often in collaboration with one another, they are gathering and providing myriad data and observations to agencies such as the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System, which is working with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s response team. Their research is likely to help inform ongoing response and cleanup efforts.
