National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site
This data community is a gateway to data sets generated by research teams working at the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site near Bemidji, Minnesota. The fate of hydrocarbons in the subsurface near Bemidji, Minnesota, at the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site has been investigated by a multidisciplinary group of scientists for over 30 years. In 1979, a high-pressure pipeline carrying crude oil burst near the city of Bemidji, Minnesota and spilled approximately 1.7 million liters (10,700 barrels) of crude oil into glacial outwash deposits (Essaid and others, 2011).
