Abstract

ABSTRACT From the lessons after the Nakhodka oil spill in January 1997, oil slick detection by using remote-sensing data and assimilating the data to the simulation program is important for monitoring the oil drift pattern. For this object, the authors are going to construct the oil spill warning system for estimating the oil drift pattern using a remote-sensing/numerical simulation model. Additionally, they plan to use this system for restoring oil spill damage domestically, such as estimating the ecological damage and making the priority for restoring the oil spilled shoreline. This report is intended to summarize the role of geo-informatics in the oil spill accident by not only paying attention to the effect of information provision/information management via the map, but also reporting the interim result in part based on the details discussed in the processes of recovery support and environmental impact assessment during the Nakhodka accident.
