Environmental Risks for Oil Spills in Northeastern Ecuador using GIS: Response Times and Vulnerable Areas
(Escuela Politécnica Nacional, 2018)
Integrated assessment for establishing an oil environmental vulnerability map: Case study for the Santos Basin region, Brazil
(2013-09-15)
The growth of maritime transport and oil exploitation activities may increase the risk of oil spills. Thus, plans and actions to prevent or mitigate impacts are needed to minimize the effects caused by oil. However, tools ...

Efficient tools for marine operational forecast and oil spill tracking
(Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2013)
Ocean forecasting and oil spill modelling and tracking are complex activities requiring specialised institutions. In this work we present a lighter solution based on the Operational Ocean Forecast Python Engine (OOFε) and ...
MAPPING OIL SPILLS IN THE CASPIAN SEA USING ERS-1/ERS-2 SAR IMAGE QUICK-LOOKS AND GIS
(Universidad de Concepción.Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Oceanográficas., 2004)
Chapter 5 Impacts and Environmental Risks of Oil Spills on Marine Invertebrates, Algae and Seagrass
Marine invertebrates and macrophytes are sensitive to the toxic effects of oil. Depending on the intensity, duration and circumstances of the exposure, they can suffer high levels of initial mortality together with prolonged ...

Real-time vessel and oil spill detection in the Argentine ocean littoral using SAR satellite imagery
(National Institute of Science Communication, 2016-09)
Oil-spill and furtive vessel detection are among the most required real-time monitoring tasks for environmental and government authorities. In Argentina, whose sea jurisdiction is huge (about one million square km), human ...
Sensitivity mapping of oil pollution incidents in land environments
(Univ Estadual Maringa, Pro-reitoria Pesquisa Pos-graduacao, 2018-01-01)
The Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Map is an element to guide the planning of contingency. Road transport is the main vectors in accidents which cause oil spilling in the environment. Since terrestrial environments ...
