SPOTLIGHT

Special : DEEPWATER HORIZON DISASTER
The Deepwater Horizon blowout may have been capped, but its impacts
- and the debate they've sparked - look set to run and run. Nature's
ongoing coverage continues to bring you the latest findings. You'll
find a report on the first major peer-reviewed study to measure the
plume, reactions from scientists about a recent upbeat study on the
fate of the oil, a look at how one oceanographer plumbed the depths
of the crisis, and much more - from opinions on how we can defend
against future catastrophes, to our ongoing blog on the science of
the spill.
