In October 2021, a massive oil spill occurred along Orange County’s coastline. In response, Ph.D. candidates Joana Tavares and Melissa Brock formed the Southern California Oil Spill Project at UCI. The project analyzes water and sea life specimens to understand how the oil spill is affecting microorganisms in local coastal waters.
