Book ·
OSTI ID:5067205
In 1976, as the risk of pollution by hydrocarbons in marine waters increased, fourteen countries led by France and the United States began a joint study on the possibilities offered by remote sensing techniques for the detection, surveillance, and monitoring of oil (and other hazardous substances) spills at sea. This volume presents the findings of this study in an in-depth investigation into the problems that arise from deliberate and accidental spills.
