This Volume collects a series of key-note lectures delivered at the
fourth "Oceans from Space" Symposium, held in Venice, Italy, in
2010. The revisited postscript in the title identifies it as the
ideal follow-up of the legendary Oceanography from Space, edited by
J.F.R. Gower and published in 1980, following the very first
edition of "Oceans from Space." This series of conferences, which
are held every 10 years only, is designed as a periodical
state-of-the-art review of satellite oceanography, providing both
an outline of current research, as well as a forum to debate
topical issues. The "Oceans from Space" Venice 2010 lectures,
authored by a unique group of prominent scientists, address
virtually every facet of oceanographic remote sensing. All salient
marine applications of passive and active techniques are covered in
the present collection. The main results already achieved, or soon
to come, demonstrate the potential of Earth Observations to help
explore the dynamical and bio-geo-chemical features of the World's
Oceans. V. BARALE graduated in Physics in 1977, from the University
of Milan, and then received both his M.S., in 1982, and Ph.D., in
1986, at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, from the
University of California at San Diego. Since 1990 he has been with
the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. His research
focuses on the ecological assessment of marginal and enclosed
(European) seas, using optical remote sensing. J.F.R. GOWER
received his Ph.D. in Radio Astronomy in 1966 at the University of
Cambridge, England, after graduating in Natural Sciences from the
same University in 1962. He moved to Canada and joined the
University of British Columbia in 1967. Since 1971 he has been at
the Institute of Ocean Sciences, where he worked on optical, SAR
and altimeter satellite data. He originated the "Oceans from Space"
Conference series. L. ALBEROTANZA graduated in Geology in 1969 at
the University of Padova. His career developed at the Consiglio
Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR), in Venice, where he has done
research on optical remote sensing of marine, coastal and lagoon
areas. He has been Director of the Venice CNR Institute, Professor
at the University of Venice, and is now President of the Venice
City Council Tidal Forecasting and Early Warning Centre.
