Applications status and prospects of remote sensing technology in geographic national conditions monitoring

Remote sensing technology has been widely applied in many fields, in recent years with the advance of geographical national conditions monitoring pilot, remote sensing images has become an important part in geographic national conditions monitoring system, is an important data acquisition means. In this paper, the domestic and foreign geography national conditions monitoring work progress were briefly introduced, and application field of geographic national conditions and monitoring was elaborated, mainly including resource environmental monitoring, disaster dynamic monitoring, land use dynamic monitoring, monitoring of urban change and construction management, monitoring of agriculture, forestry and water conservancy. Finally, future trends were predicted based on the analysis of existent problems to remote sensing technology in geographic national conditions monitoring. We believe that remote sensing technology will play an important role to carry out a comprehensive geographic national conditions monitoring.
