The Key Laboratory of Spatio-temporal Big Data Analysis and Application for Natural Resources in Megacities is jointly established by the Shanghai Surveying and Mapping Institute, East China Normal University, and Sky Digital Technology Co., Ltd. Built around the construction of the national territorial spatial planning system and natural resource management requirements, the laboratory focuses on the frontiers of surveying and mapping geographic information technology. It serves as an important platform for scientific and technological innovation in the construction, management, computation, and application of three-dimensional spatio-temporal big data for natural resources. With the processing and analysis of natural resource spatio-temporal big data, remote sensing satellite platforms and payloads, and information application and services as its main lines, the laboratory systematically conducts research at the scientific and technological frontiers of big data and spatial technology development. Emphasizing "demand-driven, supporting development, and distinct characteristics," the laboratory focuses on the construction of new infrastructure for spatio-temporal information. It aligns with the national innovation-driven development strategy, the Yangtze River Delta regional integration development strategy, and Shanghai's development positioning as a global science and technology innovation center. Guided by the development needs of urban digital transformation, represented by Shanghai, and facing the major strategic needs and basic frontiers of geographic information science, the laboratory aims to break through core key technologies such as the acquisition, management, analysis, evaluation, monitoring, and application of urban natural resource spatio-temporal big data. It seeks to develop intelligent surveying and mapping technology, big data mining and analysis technology, intelligent monitoring technology, visualization technology, and cloud computing and big data service technology with spatial information industry application capabilities. By promoting independent innovation in basic theories, application technologies, and management mechanisms, the laboratory aims to form a demonstration and leading role in the key technology system of urban natural resource spatio-temporal big data, supporting urban digital transformation and the fine-grained governance of natural resources.
