Book Description
An international group of contributors presents papers which together comprise an up-to-date guide to obtaining and interpreting data on oil spills by means of remote sensing devices. Discusses the monitoring and regulatory use of existing and future remote sensing systems for oil detection in inshore and offshore environments. Covers technical, operational, and legislative aspects, including airborne sensors, international experience in the application of remote sensing technology, how general principles of evidence can be applied to remote sensing data, and what the future holds for remote sensing.
Airborne Remote Sensing of Oil Spills on the Sea

Pages : 296
Book Description
The Arctic Marine Oilspill Program (AMOP) remote sensing project was undertaken in order to evaluate the capability of state of the art sensors to detect oil in ice-infested waters. This report outlines the experiment plan for, and results obtained from, four remote sensing missions (Montreal Island, Scott Inlet, Wallops Island, and the KURDISTAN) involving 12 different sensors. Oil detection systems presently in use in Canada and abroad are examined. Recommendations are given for a integrated sensor package together with a real time display system. The recommended sensors include: a side-looking radar (SLR); a UV-IR dual channel line scanner; a laser fluorosensor; low-light-level television (LLLTV); and annotated photographic cameras. A real-time display system allows operator interactio with sensors for the presentation of oil spill imagery and analysis. Hard copy can be obtained for presentation to those responsible for oil spill management.

Book Description
U.S. Arctic waters north of the Bering Strait and west of the Canadian border encompass a vast area that is usually ice covered for much of the year, but is increasingly experiencing longer periods and larger areas of open water due to climate change. Sparsely inhabited with a wide variety of ecosystems found nowhere else, this region is vulnerable to damage from human activities. As oil and gas, shipping, and tourism activities increase, the possibilities of an oil spill also increase. How can we best prepare to respond to such an event in this challenging environment? Responding to Oil Spills in the U.S. Arctic Marine Environment reviews the current state of the science regarding oil spill response and environmental assessment in the Arctic region north of the Bering Strait, with emphasis on the potential impacts in U.S. waters. This report describes the unique ecosystems and environment of the Arctic and makes recommendations to provide an effective response effort in these challenging conditions. According to Responding to Oil Spills in the U.S. Arctic Marine Environment, a full range of proven oil spill response technologies is needed in order to minimize the impacts on people and sensitive ecosystems. This report identifies key oil spill research priorities, critical data and monitoring needs, mitigation strategies, and important operational and logistical issues. The Arctic acts as an integrating, regulating, and mediating component of the physical, atmospheric and cryospheric systems that govern life on Earth. Not only does the Arctic serve as regulator of many of the Earth's large-scale systems and processes, but it is also an area where choices made have substantial impact on life and choices everywhere on planet Earth. This report's recommendations will assist environmentalists, industry, state and local policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of this special region to preserve and protect it from damaging oil spills.

Book Description
Abstract : This thesis provides an overview of oil spill scenarios and the remote sensing methods used for detection and mapping the spills. It also discusses the different kinds of thermal sensors used in oil spills detection. As UAS is becoming an important player in the oil and gas industry for the low operating costs involved, this research involved working with a cheap thermal airborne sensor mounted on DJI Phantom 4 system. Data was collected in two scenarios, first scenario is collecting data in Michigan's Upper Peninsula at a petroleum company location and the second scenario was an indoor experiment simulating an offshore spill. The aim of this research is to inspect the capability of Lepton LWIR inexpensive sensor to detect the areas contaminated with oil. Data processing to create classification maps involved using ArcGIS 10.5.1, ERDAS Imagine 2015 and ENVI 5.3. Depending accuracy assessment (confusion matrices) for the classified images and comparing classified images with ground truth, results shows the Lepton thermal sensor worked well in differentiating oil from water and was not a good option when there are many objects in the area of interest. Future research recommendations are presented in this document.
