Oceans cover 70% of the Earth's surface and nurture more than half of all life, playing a central role in maintaining the planet's ecological balance. They provide vast space and indispensable natural resources for human survival and sustainable development. In November 2012, the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China first proposed the major strategy of "building a maritime power," establishing a strategic goal for the development of China's marine undertakings. Surveying, geology, and remote sensing technologies serve as fundamental supports for marine engineering construction, marine resource development, and marine scientific research. To exchange recent domestic and international achievements in the application of geology, surveying, mapping, and remote sensing to the marine field, and to promote the realization of the strategic goals and vision of building a maritime power.
The 8th International Conference on Geology, Mapping and Remote Sensing (ICGMRS 2027) will be held in Suzhou, China, from April 16 to 18, 2027. The conference theme is "Geology, Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing Serving the Maritime Power Strategy." Since 2020, the International Conference on Geology, Mapping and Remote Sensing (ICGMRS) has been successfully held for seven sessions. The conference aims to provide an international platform for experts, scholars, and enterprises in the fields of geology, mapping, and remote sensing to share research findings, discuss existing problems and challenges, and explore cutting-edge technologies. We warmly welcome scholars from both home and abroad to submit papers and participate!
