Geochemist featured on PBS Newshour reports hydrocarbon remnants raining down near oil disaster

University of California Santa Barbara scientist and marine geochemistry expert Dr. David Valentine participated in a 10-day expedition to research the BP oil disaster.

Valentine noted that the area around the spill site "had a cloud of smoke hanging over it at all times". The cloud was composed of surface burn smoke and the methane flair-up.

He said the burns form "one thick mass of clouds, and when it rains, a lot of junk comes down from the particulate".
