Earth observation (EO) sensors and remote sensing play a crucial role in the detection and analysis of environmental hazards. Among these hazards, monitoring and understanding marine pollution remain challenging problems due to the complex and dynamic spatio-temporal characteristics of pollution and water. The recent outbreak of marine mucilage (or sea-snot) in the inland Sea of Marmara in the Spring of 2021 is a striking example of a dynamic environmental pollution, This work investigates temporal analysis of mucilage by unmixing based change detection on temporal hyperspectral satellite data acquired with the recently launched PRISMA sensor. The proposed unmixing-based approach enables detecting temporal changes in terms of endmembers and abundances, and hence provides information on the nature of the change, in an unsupervised manner without any training step.
