Deepwater Horizon : TAKING THE MEASURE OF THE SPILL
In an Opinion piece for Nature, geochemist David Valentine argues that
plumes of dissolved methane could be used to determine how much oil
has leaked into the Gulf of Mexico - if the studies are done soon.

Despite suggestions that sizing up the spill might even detract from
the response effort, there is a growing clamour from scientists to
come up with better estimates of the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

Meanwhile, an Editorial argues that US agencies have moved too slowly
in gathering key data on the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
