Application of CACSM, Wuhan University Introduction of CACSM, WHU - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

• Chinese Antarctic Center of Surveying and Mapping (CACSM) which

belongs to Wuhan University was established in 1991 with the formal dispatch of Chinese National Committee on Antarctic Research and China’s State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping.

• As a specialized polar scientific research institution, it is dedicated to the

implementation of the surveying and mapping for Chinese National Polar Research Expedition, and the research of polar science in surveying, mapping and remote sensing; meanwhile, it is involved in national and international academic communication in polar geodesy and geomatics.

• Since China’s first expedition to the Antarctic in

1984, CACSM has dispatched over 100 researchers to the polar region for 36 times’ expeditions to the Antarctic and ~20 times’ expeditions to the Arctic.

• Over the past 30 years, CACSM has established 5

GPS sites, 3 BD sites, 2 tide gauges and 2 absolute gravimetry sites in the Antarctica and Arctic

• CACSM always participates in the activities organized by the Scientific

Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). Prof. Li Fei, the director of CACSM, also the vice president of WHU is Chinese national representative

• f Geoscience Standing Scientific Group (GSSG), SCAR
• Hold several international or national polar symposiums such as

International Symposium on Remote Sensing and Global Change, International GIS Workshop on East Antarctica and China Symposium on Polar Science 2011

• Dispatched staffs and postgraduates to foreign countries such as USA,

England, Germany, Norway, Australia to study and communicate

• Made ~ 1000 polar scientific expedition lectures to students in China
