At the invitation of the College of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Lanzhou University, Professor Du Peijun of the Department of Geographic Information Science, School of Geography and Ocean Sciences, Nanjing University, visited our university on September 12 to 13, 2020. In the afternoon of 13th, Prof. Du gave an academic report entitled “Urban remote sensing under the background of Smart City” in the Building Tianshantang of Yuzhong district. The report was chaired by Nian Yanyun, deputy director of the Department of Geography.
Starting from the background and national needs of urban remote sensing, Prof. Du introduced the current situation of urban remote sensing development at home and abroad, and the framework of urban remote sensing research from the perspective of geography. Finally, he introduced the development and thinking of urban remote sensing. From descriptive to explanatory, then from diagnostic to predictive, remote sensing should ultimately provide decision-making for urban development. Based on his own study experience and research experience, Prof. Du has put forward some suggestions on study and work for undergraduate and graduate students. After the report, Du interacted and communicated with the undergraduates majoring in geographic information Science and the graduate students majoring in Cartography and Geographic Information System (GIS) of our college, and answered the questions that students concerned about.
