MAPPING OIL SPILLS IN THE CASPIAN SEA USING ERS-1/ERS-2 SAR IMAGE QUICK-LOOKS AND GIS

This application study highlights the potential of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery for regional oil pollution mapping. The paper presents an approach and methodology for oil spill mapping in the Caspian Sea based on analysis of the ERS-1/ERS-2 SAR image quick-looks; this image seta has be...
