Nature : Thanks to an underwater camera, scientists studying the Deepwater Horizon disaster can see the oil gushing from the well head on the sea floor. Thanks to satellite and aircraft imagery, they can also see the slick spreading on the sea surface. Now, oceanographers on board the RS Pelican have detected what they say could be the plume that carries the oil upward through the sea itself.
