Damage produced by marine oil spills includes soiled beaches, bird and mammal mortality, destruction of fisheries, impaired recreational facilities, and catastrophic impairment to entire ecosystems. The scan statistic hotspot delineation and poset prioritization tools will be used in combination with oil spill detection algorithm to provide for early warning and spatial-temporal monitoring of marine oil spills and their consequences. They used hyperspectral image analysis of Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data to conduct case studies of the Patuxent River in Maryland and the Santa Barbara shoreline of California for oil spill detection on sea water and associated mitigation.
