Objective
The objective of this research is to study spectroscopic features of organic impurities (oil pollution, dissolved organic matter) in natural waters, to elaborate an improved remote laser technique for organic pollution diagnostics, and to apply the new technique for field monitoring of natural water quality.
The research will include: a fluorescence spectroscopic study of different types of pure mineral oils, and of aqueous samples with oil pollution dispersed in the water body, as well as of dissolved organic matter naturally occurring in water; an elaboration of algorithms for remote identification of organic pollution in water, including a recognition of types of oil spread on the water surface; development of a new technique for estimating the thickness of oil films using contour analysis of the Raman scattering signal from water under an oil film.
This research requires a specific knowledge of laser spectroscopy techniques, chemical processes in natural water and an experience in hydrographic remote sensing and ecological monitoring, as well as an accumulation of spectroscopic data for water sources of different areas and with different organic admixtures. Such a synthesis in different scientific fields and information exchange could only be achieved through the collaboration of the participating teams.
The result of this project will be new instrumentation, such as a shipboard or airborne fluorescence lidar for oil spill analysis, suitable for remote sensing, including improved algorithms for organic pollution detection, identification and quantification. The findings will provide a basis for improved hydrographic surveillance methods and will be utilised in the frame of on-going monitoring programmes in Russia, Germany and France.
