Test shows remote sensing system can detect oil in ice

Article Abstract:

The details of the search for spilled oils, in Arctic regions, conducted by David Dickins, founder of D.F. Dickins Associates Ltd., and a research team from Boise State University, using remote sensing systems, are presented. The two remote sensing systems used consisted of two-high frequency pulsed global position receiver (GPR) radar systems, which had frequencies ranging from 450 to 1,200 MHz. The sponsorship for the research was provided by the Minerals Management Service (MMS), a bureau of the Department of Interior.
