This work focuses on the examination of the chemistry of N-, O-, and S- heterocycles (NOSHs) from fossil fuels and pyrogenic sources in estuarine sediment-water. In addition to the experiments conducted is a characterization of NOSH transformation products using various methods.

This is a report covering the Minerals Management Service (MMS) is responsibility on leasing offshore lands for oil and gas exploration and development. The reports looks to expand air quality models.

This is a memorandum from President William Clinton to inform the heads of all departments and agencies on the implementation of his Executive Order on Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations.

Report of the mass mortality of fish and invertebrates resulting from the 1998 El Nino in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico. Mortality was linked to a condition of near anoxia caused by a confluence of unusual oceanographic stratification associated with coastal upwelling, algal proliferation, and climatic conditions.

A report about a test which can determine which USBL system performs best in conditions that approximate those in Bristol Bay, Alaska. In the future, the Alaska Fisheries Science Center will need to track bottom fishing trawls in order to assess their impact upon the sea floor biology in Alaska.

This report is a continuation of a similar study conducted from 1989-1991 when permanent stations were established to monitor the coral in the area to assess how environmental factors were affecting the reefs. Growth rates and declines were observed, as well as the rates of coral bleaching in the East and West Garden Banks to determine the state of the coral reefs. There are four appendices that present the data gathered.

Report to Congress on the status of wetland resources in the United States. This report, a one-time effort, focuses on documenting historical wetland losses that occurred from colonial times through the 1980s.

A summary of the long-term observation of the delicate Flower Garden Banks coral reef ecosystem

This report is done by the Environmental Protection Alliance (EPA) on emission factors.

Phase 1, final report on the use of information searches and ecological modeling to assess the impact of petroleum platforms on the habitat and biota of the Gulf of Mexico in order to determine the potential changes that might occur with the removal of spent platforms.

A report about wetland creation, wetland restoration, and landscape analysis in Portland, Oregon.

This report describes the results of a study to quantify the annual methane emissions from the natural gas industry.

Cumulative bibliography of documents published between 1995 and 1997 regarding oil and gas research in five major topic areas: biology, chemistry/geochemistry/geology, engineering/physics, environment/ecosystem management/spills, and socioeconomic/regulation/general.

Appendices containing data that was collected as apart of a study on pollutants in Southeastern Louisiana. The four appendices include: [A] Gosier Island Hourly Data, [B] Breton Island (Chandeleur Islander) Hourly Data, [C] Pass-A-Loutre Hourly Data, and [D] Radiosonde Data.

Report on a study of migration patterns and density of loggerhead, leatherback, and Kemp's ridley sea turtles in order to determine the potential impact of Mobil Oil's plan to drill an exploratory well 45 miles east-northeast of Cape Hatteras, NC.

Interim report of the "Gulf of Mexico Offshore Monitoring Experiment (GOOMEX): Phase 1" that analyzes the effects of offshore drilling and its resultant contaminants on the life cycles and composition of resident marine life. Data obtained from soil and tissue samples of marine life both near and far from contaminated areas is used to determine and manage the environmental changes rendered by offshore drilling.

The Minerals Management Service's open-ocean, oil-weathering model has been updated extensively for use on personal computers to determine what oil-weathering processes are wind and/or temperature dependent. Provides detailed user's instructions on how to use the model, examples demonstrating the model, and program listings.

A report on the determination of density for five endangered sea turtle species in the vicinity of Gulf of Mexico drilling platforms no longer in use and slated for removal using explosives.

Summary describing the work completed at Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium for 'Gulf of Mexico University Initiative: Studies of Long-Term Effects of Oil and Gas Production.' It includes background information on the project funding and sponsorship, goals, methodology, and findings.

Summary describing the work completed at the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium for the university research initiative on the effects of offshore petroleum development in the Gulf of Mexico on the effects of tar on the Louisiana coastline. It includes background information on the project funding and sponsorship, goals, methodology, and findings.

This report analyzes data collected for the 12.8 million-acre coastal Texas area to detect changes in wetlands, deepwater habitats, and uplands acreage.

A document discussing scientific research and environmental assessments which are important to economic well being, quality of life, and economic strength. It discusses a the purposes of having a long-term archive that contains scientific data.
