In an article titled Responding to Future Oil Spills: Lessons Learned from Deepwater Horizon, the HSWire (Dec.3) mentioned an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The NAS issue includes a 10 page article titled Science in Support of the Deepwater Horizon Response. A copy is available here: Deepwater Horizon Paper-Dec 2012
Recovery Diva 
Thanks John. I hope the researchers out there are collecting these useful citations for future work.
Claire:-
This gives me an opportunity to call attention to two excellent reports by David Butler and Ward Sayre of the University of Southern Mississippi – one following the path of recovery from Hurricane Katrina, and the other the recovery from the oil spill. These are available on the SERRI website (www.serri.org).
Two (of several) highlights:
• The agents of recovery from the two were different. This is in line with the idea that “disasters have direction” – they attack a specific part or parts of the community eco-system first, with cascading impacts that depend on the initial point of attack. Butler and Sayre’s work indicates that recovery is path-dependent as well.
• In the study of recovery from the BP oil spill, they mapped several of the social networks involved in recovery. Perhaps most interesting was the map for government – very little interaction among different entities.
Well worth reading by both practitioners and researchers.
