Semi-Automatic Oil Spill Detection on X-Band Marine Radar Images Using Texture Analysis, Machine Learning, and Adaptive Thresholding

Remote Sensing, 2019
Oil spills bring great damage to the environment and, in particular, to coastal ecosystems. The ability of identifying them accurately is important to prompt oil spill response.

Immediate ecotoxicological effects of short-lived oil spills on marine biota

Nature Communications, 2016
Large oil spills have negative effects on marine ecosystems, but the effects of chronic smallscale spills are less well understood. Here, Brussaard et al.

A Novel Approach in Oil Spill Detection, Identification, and Classification via Multisource Technologies and Artificial Intelligence [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
The Mediterranean Sea has a substantial volume of maritime traffic, including many tankers ferrying oil from eastern sources to western refineries. This critical maritime front, vital for trade and connectivity, also poses a significant risk of oil ...

Environmental Impacts and Challenges Associated with Oil Spills on Shorelines

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Oil spills are of great concern because they impose a threat to the marine ecosystem, including shorelines. As oil spilled at sea is transported to the shoreline, and after its arrival, its behavior and physicochemical characteristics change because of ...

Study on the Oil Spill Transport Behavior and Multifactorial Effects of the Lancang River Crossing Pipeline

Applied Sciences
As the number of long-distance oil and gas pipelines crossing rivers increases, so does the risk of river oil spills. Previous research on oil spills in water mainly focuses on the oceans, and there are relatively few studies on oil spills in rivers ...

COFs on MOFs: Layer‐by‐Layer Synthesis of MOF@COF Nanoparticles with Synergistic Adsorption

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A layer‐by‐layer strategy enables the growth of crystalline covalent organic framework (COF) shells on metal–organic framework nanoparticles, creating core–shell structures with tunable porosity. Ordered interstitial mesopores are formed during shell growth, which are connected with the COF's intrinsic micropores, thereby enhancing water sorption. This
