BEIJING: In the eyes of most people, satellite remote sensing images may be ordinary color pictures, but in the eyes of Sun Lin, a professor at Shandong University of Science and Technology, and his team, they are a “treasure” containing lots of information. With the help of algorithm research and model construction, researchers are able to analyze the data in satellite remote sensing images and obtain the underlying information, Sun said. He noted that the satellite remote sensing image plays a key role in ecological restoration and governance, such as monitoring straw burning and forest fires on a large scale, monitoring surface water pollution, air pollution and solid waste accumulation, and analyzing the conditions of forests, grasslands and wetlands.
China has embarked on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in all respects. Promoting a harmonious coexistence between man and nature is a distinctive feature of Chinese modernization. The idea of “harmonious coexistence between man and nature” points out a new direction for China’s ecological restoration and governance, and puts forward higher requirements for innovative environmental governance technologies and methods. Science and technology will effectively prop up China’s ecological restoration and governance. From 2011 to 2020, China’s total patent applications for environmental technology inventions accounted for 60 percent of the world’s total, making it the most active country in environmental technology innovation around the world, according to a white paper titled “China’s Green Development in the New Era.” –The Daily Mail-China Daily news exchange item
