在1992—1995年期间,中国科学院和农业部组织实施了"国家资源环境遥感宏观调查和动态研究"项目,经过3年的工作,通过应用先进的遥感、地理信息系统技术,形成了以"决速、高技术、新信息源和动态"为特点,以资源环境组合分类系统为核心的成套技术路线和方法;完成了国家资源环境的组合分类调查;建立了"国家资源环境数据库";完成了典型地区的资源环境动态研究;在模型研究的基础上,对中国基本资源环境的现状进行了分析。项目的成功证明了利用遥感和地理信息系统技术进行国家资源环境调查和动态监测的优越性。一个运行的遥感、地理信息系统能快速、连续、宏观、客观、准确地提供资源环境动态信息。

During 1992—1995, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and The Ministry of Agriculture organized the project named "National Resources and Environment Remote Sensing Macroinvestigation and Dynamic Study". After three years work, by setting "swift, advanced techniques, new remote sensing data and dynamic study" as the characteristics, the project formed complete methodology; accomplished national resources and environment combined-classification investigation; established "The National Resources and Environment Database", and developed the resources and environment remote sensing dynamic study in typical areas. The success of the project proved the feasibility of developing national resources and environment swift investigation and dynamic monitoring by using remote sensing and GIS techniques. An operating remote sensing-GIS system can provide information of resources and environment swiftly, macroscopically, objectively, and accurately.
