Oceanography from Space Revisited

He originated the “Oceans from Space” Conference series. L. ALBEROTANZA graduated in Geology in 1969 atthe 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....
