Pooling Observation Data Together to Serve Comprehensive Purposes--Ms. Barbara Ryan on the Global Earth Observation System of Systems

＂Regardless of the particular reason an observation system was put in place, we are expanding the use of the data from that system to help users in other areas,＂ Ms. Barbara Ryan answered when asked about the necessity and importance of connecting the existing observation and research networks of different disciplines and for different purposes together in an interview with BCAS reporter SONG Jianlan, at a brief break between meetings on April 23 during the session of the 35 th International Symposium for Remote Sensing of Environment （ISRSE35）. Now let＇s follow her to have a glance at this ＂system of systems＂.     

环境遥感 神奇的太空守望者

环境遥感,虽然大家都已耳熟能详,但如果没有亲身体会和实际接触过,仍会觉得充满着神秘色彩。说其神秘,是因为我们现在所理解的遥感都是与卫星、电脑和通讯等高科技结合在一起的。不过,从本质上看,传统的环境遥感就是一架放在外太空的特殊照相机而已。

施一公、邓兴旺、陈雪梅和杨薇等当选美国科学院新科院士5月1日,美国国家科学院发布消息,清华大学生命科学院院长施一公教授当选2013年该院外籍院士。今年,美国科学院公布的增选院士名单包括84位美国本土院士和21位外籍院士,施一公教授当选外籍院士,也是21位入选者中最年轻的一位。这是继4月25日他入选美国艺术与科学院外籍院士之后获得的又一学术殊荣。     

International Cooperation Key to Success of Earth Observation System---An Interview with Dr. Ghassem R. Asrar

＂It is a very wonderful story to tell,＂ in the interview with BCAS reporter SONG Jianlan before the opening of the 35 th International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment （ISRSE）, Dr. Ghassem R. Asrar, Director of the World Climate Research Program （WCRP） and former Earth Science Associate Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration （NASA） could not help expressing his joyfulness and satisfaction at the wonderful job the global community has done in just thirty years： building the Earth observing system （EOS）,turning the observations into useful information and making it available to scientists and decision makers around the world. Let＇s follow him to celebrate the contributions of Earth observations to our understanding of the Earth system and climate, a sub-system of our planet, and recognize China＇s current and future role in this system. Meanwhile we will have an opportunity to learn about his experiences of EOS and expectation of China＇s bigger participation in internationally cooperative projects in the field of space-based remote sensing, for future decades.     

Coordinating International Eforts to Address Global Environment Change--Report from the 35^（th） International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment

Ateam of Peking Opera warriors appeared on the stage in colorful costume and played drums accompanied by impassioned music in jazz-like, modern tempo - you might suspect that this was a scene from an opera theatre though the somewhat westernized music could be a bit confusing, but actually this was the herald of a brief ceremony to celebrate

China＇s Remote Sensing from a Global View--An Interview with CAS Member Prof. GUO Huadong

＂While implementing the high-resolution Earth observation program, China will further launch new resource satellites for environmental, meteorological, and oceanic observations; meanwhile it will also launch a number of geoscience satellites and small satellites for different purposes,＂ CAS Member Prof. GUO Huadong, Chair of the 35th International Symposium on Remote Sensing of Environment （ISRSE35） and also head of the CAS Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth （RADI）, the host of the Symposium, shared with BCAS readership the latest progress and future roadmap of China＇s remote sensing in an interview with reporter SONG Jianlan. He also outlined China＇s contributions to international efforts to address global environmental change.     

西藏自治区资源环境遥感数据平台建设

随着各类项目的开展和工作的深入，对各种区域内的卫星遥感数据和基础数字化数据的需求也越来越大，本文从西藏自治区遥感应用研究中心现有的卫星遥感和基础地理信息数据着手对建立西藏自治区资源环境遥感数据平台的必要性和所提供的数据作一详细概述。其目的在于通过建立共享的基础数据平台，将在数据标准化和系统运行、保障、管理方面有所进展。     

奥运环境遥感动态监测研究进展

作为“奥运科技(2008)行动计划”及奥科委的主要成员单位之一,中国科学院十分重视与其它成员单位及奥组委的密切合作,积极部署科技奥运项目,加强科技奥运咨询服务工作,有效地推动奥运科技项目的实施。在部署项目时,强调奥运需求导向,突出高科技特色;注重与院内外力量联合,加强技术集成,注重项目的工程化应用;加强与知识创新工程战略行动计划相结合,充分利用市场化机制,采取经费多元化方式支持。为更好地将我院科研成果服务于2008年北京奥运会,我院根据2008年北京奥运对科技提出的需求,与国家科技部、奥科委、奥组委、国家体育总局等有关部门紧密结合,积极在环保、交通、场馆建设、数字奥运、运动科研等方面组织了一批奥运科技项目。三年来,共计有10个项目获得国家科技部和我院支持。目前这批项目总体进展良好,其中一些项目已取得阶段性成果。为使广大读者及时了解这些项目进展,本刊与我院综合计划局项目管理处合作,从本期开始开设专栏进行连续报道。
