The Oceans from Space (OfS) V Symposium, originally planned for 2020, finally took place in Venice, Italy, on 23-28 October 2022, after relaxation of the COVID-19 pandemia restrictions. Details about the Symposium historical background, as well as copies of its “Program” and “Contributions”, are provided in the following pages.

This website is maintained and updated regularly, every six months, to provide a reference point for the outcome of OfS V and other follow-up activities, emerging from the conference series. All post-conference developments are summarized below, with more details given in the NEWS section or in the “OfS V” & “PoHF” pages.

The selection of 10 representative papers,  for the MDPI Remote Sensing OfS V Special Issue, has now been accomplished. All papers are available in full on the MDPI website (see the Special Issue link in the NEWS section below). Further, the  publishing of a Special Issue reprint will soon complete this post-conference editorial project.

At this point in time, no new activities of the Pillars of Hercules Foundation can be reported. Plans to hold an International Workshop, on sea level rise and the consequent fate of historical coastal sites, titled “The Pillars of Hercules: A Mediterranean MOSE?” (see the NEWS section below) are still ongoing, but no final date or venue have been decided upon so far.

Please address any comments or suggestions to the Symposium Secretariat (“Contact US” page).
