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 ...
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)
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 ...
Analysis of the behaviour of oil spills in a sector of the Magdalena river (Colombia)
(2017-01-01)
In 2005, it was estimated that over 70% of oil spills in Colombia affected riverine areas. The Magdalena River is the longest navigable river in the country. It is home to countless species of flora and fauna, and provides ...
A simple Bird Sensitivity to Oil Index as a management tool in coastal and marine areas subject to oil spills when few biological information is available
(2018-03-01)
This study sought to develop a simple index for ranking birds' environmental sensitivity to oil in which birds are used as biological indicators. The study area consisted of both the Santos Estuarine System (SES), and the ...
Satellite remote sensing of oil spill pollution in the southeastern Baltic Sea
(Universidad de Concepción.Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Oceanográficas., 2004)
Embryotoxicity and Physiological Compensation in Chicken Embryos Exposed to Crude Oil
(2021-08-01)
Terrestrial, marine, or aquatic oil spills can directly or indirectly contaminate bird eggs. We hypothesized that chicken embryos exposed to crude oil can physiologically compensate to mitigate the potentially toxic effect ...
Source apportionment in oil spill remediation
(ResearchGate, 2015)
Levels of hydrocarbons and toxicity of water-soluble fractions of maritime fuels on neotropical invertebrates
(2021-01-01)
Accidents involving fuels and oil spills are among the main sources of hydrocarbons to the marine ecosystems and often damage the biota. Diesel and bunker oil are two examples of fuels with broad application that release ...
