Study Quantifies Photooxidation and Biodegradation of Surface Oil
Scientists from the University of Texas Marine Science Institute assessed photooxidation and biodegradation rates on different hydrocarbon groups. They found that photooxidation was the main driver for degrading aromatic hydrocarbons, and biodegradation was the key process controlling the degradation of...
Honey Badger wave glider weathers a storm
