BEIJING, June 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese researchers have designed an improved remote sensing method for more efficient landslide monitoring.Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing is a potential technique for long-term monitoring of landslide-prone areas.

According to a news release from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the institute has started its R&D of high power klystrons tailored for big science facilities such as high-energy colliders, controllable thermonuclear fusion devices, synchrotron radiation sources, X-ray free electron lasers, and spallation neutron sources.

BEIJING, May 12 (Xinhua) -- A platform to develop high-power klystrons for big science projects has started construction in Beijing. High-power klystrons can produce high-energy microwaves, which is key for big science projects such as high-energy collider, controlled thermonuclear fusion facility, synchrotron radiation device, X-ray free electron laser facility, the China Spallation Neutron Source and the "Meridian Project."

Recently, the Remote Sensing of Urban Green Space was published by Science Press as China’s first monograph that comprehensively studies urban vegetation from the perspective of remote sensing.Authored by Prof. MENG Qingyan from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), the book is a result of decade efforts of Prof. Meng and his team in the field of urban green space remote sensing since 2010.
