Thank you to all the authors for their efforts in writing, reviewing, and proofing the chapters.
Don't forget to budget publication costs accordingly when drafting and submitting manuscripts. The grant closes in June of 2020 which means the last allowable expenses can post in the April/May 2020
time frame meaning manuscripts paid for by C-IMAGE need to be submitted well in advance. There may be opportunities for financial support for publications after June 2020, and we'll give you those details when we receive them.

Art and Oil Spill Science Merge at USF
The C-IMAGE and DEEPEND consortia presented a gallery of artwork and photography focused on GoMRI research. The gallery is on display at the Nelson Poynter Memorial Library at USFSP in St. Petersburg, FL.
Work from Danté Fenolio, Curtis Whitwam, Teri Navajo, and Tessa Wilson puts a decade of research into a new perspective.
