E3 · E10 · E7 · E11E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E3, chemistry; the pressure it names: oil spill threat. Its words also reach E10 institutions, E7 ecosystems and E11 organizations.
Here it is a dynamic between chemistry, institutions and ecosystems: oil spills and tanker attacks (E3 chemistry), with desalination plants, water supply and potential contamination (E10 institutions), and environmental impact and beach closures (E7 ecosystems).
The floor of chemistry: what is in the air and ground. In this briefing: oil spills, tanker attacks.
The floor of money and rules. In this briefing: desalination plants, water supply, potential contamination.
The floor of weather and living systems. In this briefing: environmental impact, beach closures.
