Oil, shale or mirage in West Siberia?

Object Oriented Oil Spill Contamination Mapping in West Siberia with Quickbird Data

This paper presents concepts for an object based mapping and classification system for terrestrial oil spill pollutions in West-Siberia using Quickbird data. The work presented is part of the OSCaR pilot study (Oil Spill Contamination and mApping in Russia) and is co-financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) Germany as part of the Core-to-Core activities on “The Symptoms...

Retorted Oil Shale Disposal Research

Although the retorted, or processed, shale represents the largest by-product from oil shale retorting operations, results from detailed studies indicate that it can be managed in an environmentally acceptable manner. Laboratory and field tests have demonstrated the following properties: using normal vehicular traffic; cementation strength to 1480 kPa, using only retorted shale and optimum water...
