\nWhile Oil Gently Seeps from the Seafloor\u00a0<\/a>
\nWhen oil spills in the ocean, chemical changes happen fast\u2014usually too fast for scientists to get on the scene to study what happened. An ongoing natural oil seep off Santa Barbara is giving scientists a chance to investigate these processes for the first time.

\nPopular Way to Assess Oil Spills Can Be Misused<\/a>
\nThe technique offers a rapid, low-cost way to locate large areas where oil has sunk to the bottom of rivers and oceans. But that doesn\u2019t mean it can also effectively identify lesser levels of oil that can have harmful impacts on ecosystems and public health.

\nStudy Reveals Microbes Dine on Thousands of Compounds in Oil<\/a>
\nThousands of feet below the bottom of the sea, off the shores of Santa Barbara, CA, single-celled organisms are busy feasting on oil. Until now, nobody knew how many oily compounds were being devoured by the microscopic creatures, but new research led by David Valentine of University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) and Chris Reddy of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) in Massachusetts has shed new light on just how extensive their diet can be.
