The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has received a grant from the National Science Foundation for a fourth project related to the gulf oil spill.
The Falmouth-based nonprofit received a grant on Thursday worth nearly $38,000 to assess the composition of the water-soluble component of the leaked crude oil. The research could help to provide a more complete analysis of the weathering and degradation of the oil, according to the National Science Foundation. The project started Thursday and will last 12 months.
Woods Hole has now received grants from the foundation worth $358,147 in connection with research on the spill. In June, a team of investigators from Woods Hole took part in a 12-day research effort in the Gulf of Mexico to conduct the first three projects funded by the foundation’s “RAPID” program. The projects aimed to characterize subsurface oil plumes extending from the well head.
