More on Katrina's environmental damage

Cheryl of Whirled View and I had a nice email discussion about environmental damage from Katrina and the lack of reporting or studies on the matter. Some news is now slowly filtering out, but serious studies seem still to be lacking (or I haven't found them). Cheryl, however does a nice update on the discussion, which I also somehow missed (I'm blaming everything on back-pain drugs these days. Nonaccountability is great! But sorry, Cheryl). Please see one of the earlier Phronesisaical posts here with a good note from a former student and then go to Cheryl for an updated and better analysis.
