Six months after the rig explosion that led to the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history, damage to the Gulf of Mexico can be measured more in increments than extinctions, say scientists polled by The Associated Press.In an informal survey, 35 researchers who study the Gulf lowered their rating of its ecological health by several points, compared to their assessment before the BP well gushed millions of gallons of oil. But the drop in grade wasn t dramatic. On a scale of 0 to 100, the overall average grade for the oiled Gulf was 65 - down from 71 before the spill.EDITOR S NOTE: It will take time to see the full effects of the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

How exactly is NASA using LiDAR to measure sea ice and glacier thickness LiDAR is a technique for bouncing different wavelengths of light off of a surface to measure distances. Shorter wavelength lasers are used to detect the surface elevation of snow or ice, while longer wavelength radar penetrates into the ice to map bedrock below. Here a quick unnarrated animation giving the general premise: We ;ve previously covered the Icebridge, including some of the beautiful images coming out of the mission.
