Will History Repeat Itself?

Will History Repeat Itself?

April 14, 2020

Ten years ago SkyTruth analyzed satellite imagery to show the world that the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill was vastly larger than estimates provided to the public. SkyTruth’s analysis with Florida State University oceanographer Ian MacDonald set the stage for more accurate government estimates of the size of the spill, and helped form the basis for restoration funds to address the widespread damage. On April 14, 2020, Dr. MacDonald and SkyTruth’s President John Amos led a panel examining the implications of this disaster 10 years later, and exploring the risk of similar disasters occurring again. The webinar has ended, but the recorded version can be viewed here.
