Oily Effects
|
Several UL Lafayette faculty members are helping media explain the impact of the ongoing oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Just how much oil is being leaked into the Gulf of Mexico and how important is it for officials to report correct figures? How will the oil affect birds – including the brown pelican – that use Louisiana's coastline as a breeding ground?
Biology faculty members Drs. Paul Klerks, Paul LeBerg and Darryl Felder are a sampling of professors and researchers from UL Lafayette offering some insight.

Louisiana Public Broadcasting's Donald LaFleur visited with Slonem at his home in Jeanerette recently. Take a peek at the artist and his works.
