Couple of links

Just a couple of links I found interesting...

An FAQ about oil spills:

The Nature Physics article is behind a paywall, but here's the link for those of you with access

And if you aren't looking at all the Eyjafjallajokull shenanigans going on, what have you been doing?

I could just keep posting links... You get the idea.

Update - I forgot one. AGI's Geoscience Currents:

I am familiar with many parts of AGI's web site, but this was new to me. AGI's Geoscience Currents are webinars, links, and discussions on "quick snapshots of data released by AGI on the status of the geoscience workforce." Check it out.
