One of the major threats to marine ecosystems is pollution, particularly, that associated with the offshore oil and gas industry. Oil spills occur in the world's oceans every day, either as large-scale spews from drilling-rig or tanker accidents, or ...
Oil spill discharges from operational maritime activities like ships, oil rigs and other structures, leaking pipelines, as well as natural hydrocarbon seepage pose serious threats to marine ecosystems and fisheries. Satellite synthetic aperture radar...
The establishment and development of a set of methods of oil accurate recognition in a different environment are of great significance to the effective management of oil spill pollution. In this work, the concentration-emission matrix (CEM) is formed...

This work reports on further development of an inhibition electrochemical sensor array based on immobilized bacteria for the preliminary detection of a wide range of organic and inorganic pollutants, such as heavy metal salts (HgCl, PbCl, CdCl), pest...
Concentration-synchronous-matrix-fluorescence (CSMF) spectroscopy was applied to discriminate the oil species by characterizing the concentration dependent fluorescence properties of petroleum related samples. Seven days weathering experiment of 3 cr...
Oil spill identification relies usually on a wealth of chromatographic data which requires advanced data treatment (chemometrics). A simple approach based on Kohonen neural networks to handle three-dimensional arrays is presented. A suite of 28 diagn...
Microwave thermal remediation (TPH) is a promising remediation method for petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soils due to its high energy efficiency and rapid heating capacity. However, the complexity of influencing factors and their nonlinear intera...
Marine pollution poses a significant threat to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health, necessitating a structured evaluation framework. This study applies the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) to prioritize five major marine pollution sourc...
