Nowadays, advanced remote sensing technology plays tremendous roles to build a quantitative and comprehensive understanding of how the Earth system operates. The advanced remote sensing technology is also used widely to monitor and survey the natural disasters and man-made pollution. Besides, telecommunication is considered as precise advanced remote sensing technology tool. Indeed precise usages of remote sensing and telecommunication without a comprehensive understanding of mathematics and physics. This book has three parts (i) microwave remote sensing applications, (ii) nuclear, geophysics and telecommunication; and (iii) environment remote sensing investigations.

The use of satellite data for the surveillance and monitoring of oil spills is examined. The sensors aboard the Landstat and NOAA series (TIROS-N and GOES) satellites are described. In addition, a review of future satellite systems is presented. The various operational parameters including areal coverage, spatial resolution and spectral response are presented and used to analyze the applicability of the satellites to oil spill detection. Methods for the acquisition and use of these satellite data in a spill emergency are detailed. It is concluded that current satellite systems are not configured to provide operational oil spill monitoring. Orbits, sensor parameters and coincidence of timing with cloud conditions are such that the probability of successfully imaging an oil spill at Canadian latitudes is low. If the parameters are such that spill detection is feasible, it may be possible to generate near-real time information. It is recommended that tests, both over real and experimental spills, be conducted to provide information and experience on the use of satellite data for oil spill detection.

Academic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - Naval Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Istanbul Technical University (Graduate School of Science Engineering and Technology), language: English, abstract: The importance of identifying and tracing oil pollution on the sea surface is an important fact in order to protect our environment. CleanSeaNet which is one of the European Maritime Safety Agency's services is a significant tool and service for the States to increase the environmental safety and prevent marine pollution. By using the CleanSeaNet service which is supported by satellite technology, the detection and tracing of marine pollution is quite easier and more efficient comparing to previous years. In this study, the CleanSeaNet and its practices in Turkey regarding to identifying and tracing oil pollution have been examined. Furthermore, the practices in Turkey are revealed with a few real-case examples which have been detected by means of pollution control technology; the CleanSeaNet. This paper concludes with the recommendations on future directions on how to identify and trace oil pollution by using new technologies. The CleanSeaNet is one of the (European Maritime Safety Agency) EMSA's significant tool which is a European satellite-based oil spill and vessel detection service. It offers assistance to participating States for identifying and tracing oil pollution on the sea surface, monitoring accidental pollution during emergencies and contributing to the identification of polluters. The service is based on the radar images obtained from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites

This volume presents some of the research topics discussed at the 2014-2015 Annual Thematic Program Discrete Structures: Analysis and Applications at the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications during Fall 2014, when combinatorics was the focus. Leading experts have written surveys of research problems, making state of the art results more conveniently and widely available. The three-part structure of the volume reflects the three workshops held during Fall 2014. In the first part, topics on extremal and probabilistic combinatorics are presented; part two focuses on additive and analytic combinatorics; and part three presents topics in geometric and enumerative combinatorics. This book will be of use to those who research combinatorics directly or apply combinatorial methods to other fields.
