Academic Investigation
On the morning of April 16, scholars went to the Yifu Museum of China University of Geosciences for academic investigation, followed the introduction of lecturers, and witnessed the traces of geological ores and fossil specimens in the collection of China University of Geosciences that confirmed the long history.
Amid the two-day conference, many cutting-edge research results have been shared around remote sensing monitoring, marine ecological civilization construction, marine acoustic telemetry, sustainable marine communication and other topics. Scholars extended a heated discussion, which expanded the academic perspective and fully reflected the influence, academic recognition and extensive academic cooperation of the ICGMRS conference in the fields of geology, surveying and mapping and remote sensing.
2023 4th International Conference on Geology, Surveying and Mapping and Remote Sensing (ICGMRS 2023) has been successfully concluded, and the SCI journal Remote Sensing is still in the process of soliciting contributions, which is expected to be closed in October. At the same time, please look forward to the 2024 5th International Conference on Geology, Surveying and Mapping and Remote Sensing (ICGMRS 2024)!
