The technical aspects of oil spill remote sensing are examined and the practical uses and drawbacks of each technology are given with a focus on unfolding technology. The use of visible techniques is ubiquitous, but limited to certain observational conditions and simple applications. Infrared cameras offer some potential as oil spill sensors but have several limitations. Both techniques, although limited in capability, are widely used because of their increasing economy. The laser fluorosensor uniquely detects oil on substrates that include shoreline, water, soil, plants, ice, and snow. New commercial units have come out in the last few years. Radar detects calm areas on water and thus oil on water, because oil will reduce capillary waves on a water surface given moderate winds. Radar provides a unique option for wide area surveillance, all day or night and rainy/cloudy weather. Satellite-carried radars with their frequent overpass and high spatial resolution make these day–night and all-weather sensors essential for delineating both large spills and monitoring ship and platform oil discharges. Most strategic oil spill mapping is now being carried out using radar. Slick thickness measurements have been sought for many years. The operative technique at this time is the passive microwave. New techniques for calibration and verification have made these instruments more reliable.

“…The TETHYS mass spectrometer had been previously used to measure subsurface oil leaks from blowout preventers damaged by hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico [3] and, in combination with Sentry, to map naturally occurring methane seeps off the coast of California [22]. This effort was part of a 10-day expedition focused on surveying and sampling the plume.…”

This paper reports the Sentry autonomous underwater vehicle and its deployment on two cruises in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The first cruise, in June 2010, coupled Sentry with the TETHYS mass spectrometer to track and localize a subsea hydrocarbon plume at a depth of approximately 1100m going at least 30km from the oil spill site. In December 2010, Sentry mapped and photographed deep-sea biological communities for follow-up observations and sampling with the Alvin manned submersible. These cruises demonstrate how robots and novel sensing technologies contributed to the oil spill assessment and the broader impact of technologies developed for basic research.

“…Figure 3 illustrates a sample data set generated during a two phase survey using an AUV equipped with a sidescan sonar for wide-area survey and an ROV equipped with an in-situ mass spectrometer for near-field identification of hydrocarbons leaking from a damaged section of subsurface oil production infrastructure. When combined with advanced navigation technologies, position estimates can be achieved with decimeter-scale geo-referenced accuracy (Camilli et al, 2009), facilitating re-acquisition for repeated survey and change detection.…”

A B S T R A C TThis technical paper describes existing capabilities and new research results for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for use in locating, characterizing, and monitoring underwater munitions. The authors introduce advances in sensor technologies and search methods pertinent to AUV-based underwater munition mitigation operations. Results are presented from a series of trials using in situ chemical sensors to detect both conventional and nonconventional underwater munitions in real time. These technologies are considered within the context of chemical plume tracing and biomimetic search algorithms. This paper concludes with a look toward future AUV sensor payloads with more extensive real-time situation awareness. Advancement of these technologies and methods will be critical for realizing the potential of AUV platforms to manage the risks posed by underwater munitions sites.
