Includes a listing of state laws that protect employees in discussing pay and compensation.

Document outlining state-specific goals for carbon dioxide emissions and energy efficiency through 2030 for the state of Louisiana.

This report is about the composition of biofouling communities for three different offshore platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Research methods included a video survey, high resolution photography, scrape samples, and settling plates.

An analysis of how barium and radium-laced fluid seeps affect the climate and habitats of the Gulf of Mexico offshore Louisiana.

This is a study that looks at the potential biotechnology application of organisms attached to offshore platforms and wells.

This study examines the expansion of offshore oil and gas development and its effects on shaping Louisiana's culture, geography, society and economy.

This study looks at the socioeconomic impact in Louisiana's coastal parishes as a result of off shore oil and gas. The study looks at the impact of reserves under federal jurisdiction on the income of people in the region.

This final report summarizes the procedures and the results of the mapping efforts of a project on continental shelves.

Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) provides shoreline classification and a sensitivity ranking that is important for oil spill planning. This system has not been used in Louisiana due to the rapid changes of the shoreline, which is a potential threat due to high risk of oil spill in that region. This research paper's goal is to develop remote sensing classification procedures to create an ESI map for Louisiana and other areas that present similar issues.

This report is about the status of existing reduced dimensional models of the dynamics of the Louisiana Coastal Current. Local, wind-driven models reproduce credibly the flow variability during the winter season.

This report summary describes the objective of the research is to examine how offshore structures producing and processing hydrocarbons are removed from the Gulf of Mexico. Using this research, they developed a model to forecast the removal of offshore structures.

This report is about the study of the inner shelf currents over the Louisiana and Texas shelf.

This report is about the development of the high-resolution integrated hydrology-hydrodynamic model in Louisiana.

User guide for the 2005 gulfwide offshore activites data system.

This report is about the cooperative research on sperm whales and their response to seismic exploration in the Gulf of Mexico.

This report examines the interactions between changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, oil and gas production in the state offshore waters and measures of economic activities in Louisiana.

An historical evaluation and documentation of the offshore oil and gas industry and its impact on the economy of Southern Louisiana from its inception in the early decades of the twentieth century.

This report contains several interviews of individuals who were employed by the oil and gas industry since its conception.

This study is about the history and evolution of the offshore oil and gas industry in southern Louisiana in an objective and comprehensive way.

This report is about how local residents respond to the presence of immigrants, in the ways in which migrants supply their labor and employers demand it, and in how migrants socially and economically incorporate into their receiving communities.

This report is about the study of subsurface high-speed current jets in the deep water of the Gulf of Mexico.

This survey report discusses deepwater projects centered in the Gulf Coast. Their study is interested in vendors or contractors supplying the equipment used on the deck and process in extracting oil. The authors are also interested in the socioeconomic effects of the oil extracting on local communities.

This report is to formalize the REA/MMS forecast models used in the Gulf Coast. With these models they forecast GOM infrastructure like number of exploratory wells and number of development wells.
