Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to assess the ecological risks of oil spills using satellite data. This paper presents the use of data Landsat and TERRA satellites from 1999 to 2007. We used archives of thematic products TERRA/MODIS (MOD11A1 and MOD13Q1) and Landsat satellite images. The approach, using MOD11A1 and archived weather data for estimate the probability of the atmospheric corrosion of pipelines, was developed. The paper presents a graph of average NDVI values for 2000, 2001, and 2007 on the mechanically disturbed and contaminated territories. The coefficients of correlation between MOD13Q1 in oil fields and indicators of weather conditions were calculated.
