Oil spilled in the ocean can sink to the seafloor due to its high density or by attaching to floating particulate matter, as happened during the Marine Oil Snow Sedimentation and Flocculent Accumulation (MOSSFA) event following Deepwater Horizon. Oil that reaches the seafloor can smother benthic organisms or the organisms can ingest it, causing long-term negative effects, as happened to some deep-water coral and foraminifera.
Advanced tools are needed to predict oil transport to shorelines or if it will sink to the seafloor and affect sensitive ecosystems. The Subsurface Oil Simulator (SOSim) model, originally developed by the NOAA Response and Restoration’s Emergency Response Division during Deepwater Horizon, uses statistics to infer the velocity and dispersion of oil spilled in the water column and predict oil’s transport. The model was initially developed to track only sunken oil (oil that has reached the seafloor) on flat bay bottoms following an instantaneous spill, conditions that represent only a portion of the Gulf of Mexico environment.

A walk around Minterne Gardens in Dorset.
The garden walk is about 1 mile in a horseshoe shape.
You can take different paths on the last leg of the walk, we went on the upper path.

Information below from leaflet from Minterne Gardens:
The Minterne Valley, landscapped in the manner of Capability Brown in the 18th century, has been the home of the Churchill and Digby families for 350 years. The gardens are laid out in a horseshoe below Minterne House, with a chain of small lakes, waterfalls and streams. They contain an important collection of Himalayan Rhodocdendrons and Azaleas, with Spring bulbs, Cherries, Maples and many fine and rare trees; the garden is noted for its Autumn colouring.
Of particular note are the large plants of Magnolia Campbellii which flower in March and April, together with a profusion of spring bulbs. Many flowering cherries were brought from Japan in 1920 and the Pieris Forrestii with their brilliant scarlet shoots, originally came from Wakehurst. A very fine collection of Davidia Involucrata (the pocket handkerchief tree) produce striking bracts in late May and early June, when the streams are lined with primulas, astilbes and other water plants.

Lancelot Brown (1716 – 6 February 1783), more commonly known as Capability Brown, was an English landscape gardener. He is remembered as "the last of the great English eighteenth-century artists to be accorded his due", and "England's greatest gardener". He designed over 170 parks, many of which still endure Nuneham Courtenay being one such landscape.
Wrest Park is a country estate located near Silsoe, Bedfordshire, England. It comprises Wrest Park, a Grade I listed country house, and Wrest Park Gardens, also Grade I listed, formal gardens surrounding the mansion.
The present house was built in 1834–39, to designs by its owner Thomas de Grey, 2nd Earl de Grey, an amateur architect and the first president of the Royal Institute of British Architects, who was inspired by buildings he had seen on trips to Paris.
Wrest Park has an early eighteenth-century garden, spread over 92 acres, which was probably originally laid out by George London and Henry Wise for Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Kent, then modified by Lancelot "Capability" Brown in a more informal landscape style.

Madingly Hall, Cambridgeshire. Lancelot 'Capability' Brown landscaped and de-formalised the grounds for Sir John Hynde Cotton, the 4th Baronet.
Madingley Hall was an elegant 16th-century country house, with a formal, Dutch-style garden. In 1756 Sir John employed Capability Brown to create a more naturalistic landscape. The redesigned park includes a lake with a sham bridge, sloping lawns, and views to the east and north of the house.
Now part of the University of Cambridge and used for short courses and continuing education ans as a hotel.

Broadway Tower near to the village of Broadway in Worcestershire, UK was the idea of Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, the renowned 18th century English landscape architect.
Capability Brown designed the house and landscaped parkland at Croome Court at Croome D'Abitot, Worcestershire for George Coventry, 6th Earl of Coventry.
The house and parkland were Brown's first landscape design and his first major architectural piece of work.
Lady Coventry wondered if Croome could be seen from a beacon hill some 20 miles away and so Brown suggested building a 'Saxon' folly in the form of a castle which was designed by James Wyatt who had designed follies and temples for the park at Croome with Robert Adam. When lit, the beacon could be clearly seen at Croome Court.
The tower has been a country retreat for artists including William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones who stayed there in the 1880s.

The Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC) concept originated at NATO HQ in mid-2006. NATO officials and national representatives envisaged a partnered solution that would satisfy a need for strategic airlift for member states without the economic resources to field a permanent capability. Originally this idea was called the NATO Strategic Airlift Capability (NSAC). In October 2006 the first non-NATO nation joined the initiative and the concept changed its name to the SAC and moved outside the Alliance.
On 23 September 2008 the 12 nations established the Strategic Airlift Capability by signing the SAC Memorandum of Understanding.
On 14 July 2009, Strategic Airlift Capability received its first C-17 aircraft, bearing the registration SAC 01. The remaining two aircraft, SAC 02 and 03, were delivered in the following months and operations with the Heavy Airlift Wing started immediately thereafter at Pápa Air Base.
In November 2012 the Heavy Airlift Wing achieved Full Operational Capability (FOC). The unit was then considered fully capable of missions containing air refueling, single ship airdrop, assault landings, all-weather operations day or night into low-to-medium-threat environments, limited aeromedical evacuation operations and utilizing C-17 air-land and air-drop mission capabilities.[

Capability Brown ~ Trentham Gardens, Staffordshire. ~ A striking statue of Lancelot “Capability” Brown - the renowned landscape garden designer whose tercentenary has been celebrated throughout 2016 - has gone on show at Trentham Gardens. The bronze statue has been a part of an international sculpture exhibition at Doddington Hall near Lincoln, and is soon due to take up permanent residence beside the River Thames in Hammersmith close to where Brown lived for thirteen years.
Prior to its journey south, however, it has now gone on show until next spring at The Trentham Estate.
