pipe preventing oil from escaping. it didn't. and more than 200 million gallons of oil spilled into the gulf of mexico causing the worst environmental disaster in u.s. history. the leak was capped in july and engineers have placed a new blowout preventer on the well. >> i'm pleased to announce there's a new preventer on this well. this well does not cause a threat. >> the blowout preventer is just one piece of the investigation. the government is looking at why a bubble of methane gas escaped from the well and ignited. the explosion aboard the deep water horizon rig april 20th killed 11 workers. the evidence could prove vital in lawsuits if the equipment was poorly maintained, b.p. or its contractors could be found criminally negative. they've set aside $20 million for claims in a government supervised account and so far spent $8 billion on the spill. >> the government is investigating another offshore facility, this one mariner energy's platform. a fire broke out there thursday

48 napa so as the days get longer we'll see more of these temperatures cooling significantly through the overnight hours. 56 in fremont. and 70 in los gatos. so here's the plan for today. we'll see that patchy coastal fog just for the morning hours. and then warmer day today compliments of a north wind. although some of that may be offset with some brief brisk winds. but tomorrow will be the warmest day and the next seven where we see temperatures really soar from the coast to our inland valleys and then cooling gets right underway tuesday and wednesday. so just a couple areas of fog. quickly it begins to evaporate and we'll see 60s and 70s around the bay, 5 degrees warmer than yesterday, return to the low 90s inland. but mid to upper 80s either end of the bay. numbers come up significantly due to high pressure building in. the north winds today, the offshore winds tomorrow. that sets the stage for a pretty nice end to the weekend.

fires and the logger's ax. but what about the impact of global warming. that's still a big question mark. what will climate change mean for the sequoias of the southern sierra and the coastal redwoods up north. a team of scientists intends to find out and they're going about it in an unusual way. here's dan with the assignment 7 report. >> this is an unconventional experiment taking place high above the ground. the branches of a giant sequoia in the whittaker forest near kings canyon national park. we provided these researchers with a camera to shoot this installation. >> just spent the day crown mapping or branch mapping. >> researchers from u.c. berkeley, davis and humble state have come together to study these giants. they are taking careful measurements and using special cameras to take photos high up in these trees. they'll count the leaves and measure the branches. >> and you gotta hold it in

position, your compass with your other hand and one hand get the measurement. >> they're hoping to determine whether global warming it having an impact on the last remaining groves of redwoods in the world. anthony ambrose is one of the tree-climbing researchers. >> it's critical to get up into the trees because that's where all the action's happening. that's what's going on in the tree. in order to understand the tree and what it's doing and how it's growing, its structure and function, you need to get up there. you can't just study these trees from the ground. >> two centuries of logging decimated old-growth redwoods. these ancient trees once covered large portions of northern california. today only 5% of the original forest is left. over the next three years, the team will branch up and climb the huge sequoias and immense redwoods at 13 locations around the state as part of a $2.5 million project. we caught up with the researchers recently in humbled

county. that's where they launched the redwoods and climate change initiative. the goal is to answer one key question. >> what's the future of these trees, the giant sequoia and redwoods in a changing world. >> director of the save the redwoods league. a nonprofit dedicated to preserving these great trees. >> we need to understand the past of these trees. need to understand how they're functioning today so we can make smart decisions how we can save them in the future is climate change is happening now. it's not one of those things we're going to look to happen in the future. if we don't start working on finding solutions now, you know, these ecosystems, these trees, species of all kinds are going to be gone. >> the study has already yielded some interesting results. >> we're winding that trees that are over 1500 years old are growing more than they ever have in history. and that is completely

unpredicted from basic scientist understanding about what happens to old forest and old trees. also evidence of decreased fog where coastal redwoods grow. core samples are another important tool in understanding the life of these trees. >> at base height, you only get a limited view of the tree. >> getting samples from high up in the trees used to mean waiting for them to fall. >> the key to cross breeding redwood and the key to the tree rings and having samples that have stronger patterns, more representative rings is going up in the tree. >> tree rings can uncover things like past humidity, rainfall, fog and temperature. keeping tabs on future readings, they are also installing sensor monitoring equipment. >> we put these sensors to monitor climatic conditions and then can monitor things like flow of water through the tree. >> a box that weighs about 60

pounds and another 40 pounds of cabling. >> ideally the team hopes to eventually streamline those boxes into smaller devices that will be placed on treetops throughout forests. >> a device like this, a microclimate sensor that will measure humidity, barometric appreciate -- pressure. >> dan ashley, abc 7 news. >> that project is being funded by bay area billionaire ken fisher. he study forestry economics at humble state. he has a contribution of $500,000. if you'd like to make one, there's a link at abc7news.com. magnificent the word for the trees. how about the weather word.
