It is simply amazing how our lives have been greatly revolutionized by the advent of the social media platforms as one of the core areas through which information can be relayed from a single point to another with very minimal effort involved therein (Powlen and Michael).

The continuing environmental risk of deep-water drilling even after the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico stems from the stubborn failure to learn the lessons from the past.

Sophisticated technologies have been developed to extract oil, but little has been done to bolster the capacity to prevent and/or rapidly contain deepwater blowouts. Despite the ...
