Remote-sensing for oil spills is reviewed. The use of visible techniques is ubiquitous,
however it gives only the same results as visual monitoring. Oil has no particular spectral …

Optical remote sensing (ORS) of reflected sun light has been used to assess oil spills in the
ocean for several decades. While most applications are toward simple presence/absence …

To address these issues with respect to the multifarious conditions existing in the different
basins of the World Ocean is a highly complicated matter and exceeds the scope of the …

Oil spill incidents contaminate water bodies, and damage the coastal and marine
environment including coral reefs and mangroves, and therefore, monitoring the oil spills is …

An accurate identification of oil spill types is the basis of determining the source of leakage,
evaluating the potential damage, and deciding a plan of responses for an oil spill event …

Remote sensing provides an effective tool for timely oil pollution response. In this paper, the
spectral signature in the optical and infrared domains of oil slicks observed in shallow …

Spectroscopy is the basis to detect and characterize offshore hydrocarbon (HC) seeps
through optical remote sensing. Diagnostic spectral features of HCs are linked to their …

Starting December 2002, the oil industry operating in and around Lake Maracaibo in
Venezuela suffered a series of accidents (Figure 1). Fires, the sinking of two barges, rupture …

MOON (Mediterranean Operational Oceanography Network http://www. moon-
oceanforecasting. eu) provides near-real-time information on oil-spill detection (ocean color …

We measured the light absorption properties of two naturally occurring Australian
hydrocarbon oils, a Gippsland light crude oil and a North West Shelf light condensate. Using …
