Remote Sensing for Offshore Marine Oil Spill Emergency Management , Security and Pollution

چکیده
Reducing the risk of oil spills and mitigating the prospect of terrorist attacks and sabotage is essential for protecting the environment and reducing economic losses. Oil spill surveillance constitutes a critical component of an effective security program and oil spill disaster management. Advances in remote sensing technologies can help to identify potential threats and minor spills before they cause widespread damage and can provide industry with a "proactive" defense against the current perception of being ill-prepared for oil spill emergencies and other types of security risks.

Mapping Oil Spills in the Asian Seas Using Sar Imagery and Gis
ABSTRACT: GIS can significantly contribute to correct interpretation of the signatures of slicks visible on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, providing a basis for analysis. Proposed geoinformation approach to oil spill mapping is presented. It includes integration of the geographical, remote sensing, oil & gas infrastructure data and slick signatures, detected in SAR images, in GIS. Vario...
