Focus on the issues, peculiarit ies and special challenges of the African Seas Complete and thorough review of the current Earth Observat ions potential Section devoted to mult i-technique assessment of the marine environment The African Seas include marginal basins of two major oceans, the At lant ic and the Indian, a miniature ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and an infant ocean, the Red Sea. Understanding the wide spectrum of environmental features and processes of such a varied co llect ion of marine and coastal regions requires that in situ observat ion systems be integrated and actually guided, by the applicat ion of orbital remote sensing techniques. This vo lume reviews the current potential o f Earth Observat ions to help in the exploration of the marginal seas around Africa, by virtue of both passive and active techniques, working in several spectral ranges ­ i.e. measuring either reflected visible and near-infrared sunlight, as well as surface emissio ns in the thermal infrared and microwave spectral regio ns, or again the surface reflect ion of transmitted lidar or radar impulses of visible or microwave radiat ion. The in-depth evaluat ion of the advantages offered by each technique and spectral region and in particular by the development of advanced mult i-technique systems, contributes to the assessment of the abundant natural resources that the Seas of Africa have to offer, of those in dear need of being ­ sustainably ­ explo ited and of others that should be protected and maintained in their st ill prist ine condit ions. Vittorio Barale graduated in Physics in 1977, from the Universit y of Milan and then received both his M.S., in 1982 and Ph.D., in 1986, while at the Scripps Inst itution of Oceanography, fro m the Universit y o f California at San Diego. Since 1990 he has been wit h the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. His research focuses on the ecological assessment of marginal and enclo sed seas and their coastal margins in particular, using optical remote sensing. Martin Gade received his first degree in Physics in 1992 and then his doctoral degree in Geosciences in 1996, both fro m the Universit y o f Hamburg, Germany. Since 1991 he has been wit h the Remote Sensing Unit of the Inst itute of Oceanography, at the University of Hamburg. His research focuses on air-sea interactions and coastal processes and their remote sensing using active microwave techniques, as well as on laboratory and field experiments with marine surface films.
