Dr. ZHAO Wei, ZHANG Jianqiang and ZHANG Jifei provided the training courses for the topics related to theoretical basis of mountain remote sensing and mountain environmental monitoring using remote sensing method, mountain hazards interpretation from remote sensing, and spatial analysis of the settlement distribution in high mountain area respectively. A good interaction was built in the training between trainers and trainees, and they all think that the technical training is very helpful and it is beneficial to deepen the cooperation between IMHE and CDG. Meanwhile, they hope the similar training course will be continuously held by staffs from IMHE in the future.
After the training course, Dr. SONG Mengqiang and ZHAO Wei investigated the land cover and land use condition of the urban and country area in Kathmandu Valley accompanied by Prof. Sher from CDG. The field work helps them to understand the environmental and resource problem of Nepal. Meanwhile, they visited the joint laboratory accompanied by Prof. Poudel and others faculties in CDG and discussed the issues on the further cooperation.
