Professional Background:
Supported by the comprehensive integration of "3S" technologies, this major conducts research on national geographic condition monitoring, GNSS high-precision navigation and positioning, environmental remote sensing, nighttime light remote sensing, and Earth system simulation, exploring and implementing theoretical methods and technical applications for Earth observation and navigation. Currently, this discipline has undertaken and completed dozens of major national and key projects, as well as projects for enterprises and institutions, cultivating a large number of high-level scientific and technological talents, with achievements widely recognized by all sectors of society.
Training Objectives:
Students will master solid theoretical foundations of remote sensing science and systematic professional knowledge, while gaining a relatively comprehensive understanding of and familiarity with the frontier fields and research methods of the remote sensing discipline. They will possess the ability to independently engage in scientific research, undertake professional technical work, and serve society. They will also be proficient in a foreign language, with the ability to read professional foreign literature and carry out corresponding engineering and technical work.
Program Features:
Based on the development direction of next-generation spatial information technology, the PhD program in Remote Sensing Science and Technology addresses the urgent demand for high-level interdisciplinary talents in national key construction and other critical sectors. It focuses on cultivating leading talents capable of undertaking major engineering projects and complex scientific research tasks on the front lines of the earth science and geographic information industries. This program highlights the interdisciplinary integration of "Remote Sensing + Earth Science + Big Data + Artificial Intelligence." Through a joint training mechanism involving industry regulators and leading enterprises, doctoral students systematically master key technologies such as remote sensing data acquisition, radiometric/geometric calibration, intelligent interpretation, and information fusion. They develop the ability to use remote sensing and big data to solve major scientific problems concerning complex earth systems and human-environment relationships. Relying on cutting-edge methods like artificial intelligence, intelligent remote sensing processing, and spatial large models, the program focuses on major application scenarios. It strengthens students' abilities in problem identification, solution design, and system integration within real-world engineering projects, ultimately cultivating high-level, application-oriented, and interdisciplinary remote sensing specialists who possess profound theoretical knowledge, outstanding engineering practice, and strong organizational and management skills.
