ABSTRACT
Mobile nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) operating in Earth's magnetic field is adapted to detect leaked or spilled oil trapped in or under sea ice without the need to place any personnel on the ice. A helicopter placed a 6-meter diameter NMR coil system weighing approximately 1000â¯kg on 92â¯cm-thick ice surrogate and detected the equivalent of 1â¯cm thick oil under the ice surrogate in 3-1/2â¯min.
