Deepwater Horizon – BP Oil Spill
On April 20, 2010, an explosion on the British Petroleum offshore drilling rig, Deepwater Horizon, caused a perpetual leak of oil from below the sea-floor. The leak lasted well into June of that year, and at that time showed no sign of being stopped, causing what is unquestionably the largest man-made marine disaster in human history. The Paper Experts has several prewritten papers that relate to this subject:

36153 Learning from the Past: The Prestige Oil Spill and its Effects
This paper discusses the Prestige oil spill and its impact. It also discusses the Valdez oil spill, the lessons learned from the spill and how they applied to the Prestige spill, and the Valdez spill's impact on the environment. It covers the political situation involved in the spill, as well as ways it could have been prevented, and future spills can be prevented.
This three-page undergraduate paper analyzes the Exxon Valdez oil spill and criticizes Exxon for criminal negligence and irresponsibility. 3 pgs. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
This study will look at the oil spill problem from a more eclectic stance. Specifically, it will justify the assertion that oil spills occur from a variety of sources by bringing many of them to light. Upon this, it will be clear that there is indeed significant cause for concern and even greater need for a system-wide outlook on oil-leakage. After disclosing the various sources of oil spillage into the world's marine environments, the impact on marine ecosystems will be discussed, as will suggestions for prevention and spillage containment and recovery. Specific cases will be highlighted where appropriate.
The following is a 5-page paper exploring various types of pollution in the ocean. Pollution from oil spills, run-offs that result in toxic wastes in the ocean and the dumping of foreign particles in the ocean are discussed.

7709 Disaster Management
This six-page undergraduate paper briefly looks into the disaster management practices of any given state and how the management practices can be improved to ensure that the risks and damages are minimized during the occurrence of a disaster. It focuses on the four main steps that are taken to ensure that disasters are managed effectively.
44088 Disaster Recovery Policies: State, Local and Federal Plans
In Gerber's (2007) view a "disaster" occurs because of people and their actions. The "extreme event", such as hurricane, terrorist attack or tornado, only "triggers" the disaster to begin. In the past few decades the United States has witnessed many extreme events that have been labeled disasters based on Gerber's (2007) view. Much discussion has either placed the blame for these disasters on the local, state or federal authorities, citing a lack of preparedness as the primary cause. Yet, there is no government on any level that does not have a disaster plan. Therefore, suggesting that authorities are not prepared cannot be justified. What is clear, however, is that views on proper preparedness vary, as do the needs of the people in different locales. Consequently a clash of planning occurs when local authorities, states and the federal government set about implementing recovery actions. Local authorities comprehend the immediate needs of the people in the location.
3707 Locus of Control and its Application to Disasters
This paper will focus upon one particular element of the psychological study of disaster – the measure locus of control – and how it impacts upon human coping with disasters of different varieties. It will be argued that, while the some of the scholarly studies remain inconclusive – given the understandable problems in conducting studies in the context of disasters – it appears that there exists a strong correlation between an internal locus of control and the human capacity to successfully prepare for, and cope with, disaster.

3064 Book Review on "The Age of Environmentalism" by Edward J. De Steiguer
This book is a highly comprehensive and balanced look at the environmentalist movement and some of its key figures.
