Several days ago a rather large oli leak (~5 Million liters) had happened in the Arava, some 15 Km north from the gulf of Eylat - home to one of the world's northernmost coral reefs. over the last week work was done to collect as much of the oil but it would seems there still is oil covering dry river beds which may be flooded tonight. this could possibly be one of the greatest environmental disasters in recent year in Israel.

an article about the spill:

Anyone with me for a road trip with the aerial mapping + spectrometer kit? Hagit?

Wow, that's a big spill -- I managed to find the site in google imagery, right where you said, north of the town of Eilat (Lat: 29.6924246012, Lng:34.9939721307); and took a couple frames from the airplane video to stitch on.

The photos were *very* oblique, so it's not great, but I managed to find some patterns of vegetation to use and actually think it's an OK stitch. But MapKnitter did something with the contrast of the images, so they look blown out. This screen grab from the stitching interface itself is better:

Hi Amir

Yes,

I know that it wasn't declared as a no-fly-zone and I wonder what aerial images were already created.

I also have a spectrometer, I can bring it with me.

Shai, or anyone else from the Jerusalem list, would you like to join?

do you need oil testing kit supplies? do you have a 405nm laser?  contact kits@publiclab for supplies you need. 

[Nir Yariv]

When are you guys planning to go? Would love to join your expedition if it works out.

In any case, I'd be happy to help with processing/publishing the data online.
