New method of remote characterization of hydrocarbon films on the ocean surface through studies of wave turbulence

开发一种新型的海面油膜远程表征方法，将有助于环境监测中石油泄漏的早期发现。它还将用于探测大陆架石油勘探中自然发生的溢油。该项目解决了澳大利亚环境可持续发展的国家研究重点和开发深部地球资源的优先目标。澳大利亚工业将从该项目的成果中受益匪浅。这些研究还将有助于提高澳大利亚在遥感研究领域的前沿地位。澳大利亚的本科生、研究生和研究培训是该项目不可分割的一部分。

Development of a novel method of remote characterization of oil films on the sea surface will help early detection of oil spills in environmental monitoring. It will also be used for detection of naturally occurring oil seeps in the oil exploration on the sea shelf. The project addresses the national research priority of Environmentally Sustainable Australia and the priority goal of developing deep earth resources. Australian industry will greatly benefit from the outcome of the project. These studies will also help advancing Australia's position at the forefront of remote sensing research. Australian undergraduate, postgraduate and research training is an integral part of the project.
