The paper presents key results of the refinement of a geoinformation (GIS) approach designed to address a range of oceanographic tasks through the analysis of Earth remote sensing data from space. The modernization of the GIS approach involves regular updating of information and integration of additional, relevant digital data on specific marine areas. The improvements are aimed to enhancing the efficiency of detecting and characterizing various phenomena and processes occurring on the sea surface, particularly anthropogenic and natural oil pollution and their sources. In the enhanced version of the GIS approach, pollution sources can be identified almost automatically, provided that comprehensive physical-geographical and industrial information about the marine basin is available. The necessity for continuous refinement of the method is demonstrated by the example of detecting, identifying, and verifying sources of oil pollution amid other phenomena in the Black Sea, using spaceborne optical and radar imagery collected between 2020 and 2024.
Keywords: geographic information system, GIS approach, SAR imagery, oil spills, Black Sea
