 Afterwards,Assoc. Prof. Tao Chen fromIEEE GRSS Wuhan Chapter made an opening speech at the opening ceremony of the conference, welcoming the participants from all over the country and wishing ICGMRS 2025 to be held successfully. China University of Geosciences, Wuhan, as a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education and one of the first universities to set up a graduate school in China, has taken geological resources exploration, environmental monitoring and geologic disaster prevention and control as its core features in the field of remote sensing and mapping, relying on the disciplinary strengths in the field of earth sciences, and deeply integrating remote sensing technology and geological applications, and has achieved remarkable results in the fields of land and resource investigation, ecological protection and disaster emergency response, and has formed an industry-university-research innovation system with distinctive features of geosciences. It has formed an industry-academia-research innovation system with distinctive geoscientific characteristics.

       The main session of the conference was chaired by Res. Assoc. Prof Li Li from the School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University. The event featured 12 thematic presentations and multiple oral reports, encompassing the latest research achievements and technological applications in geology, geomatics, and remote sensing domains. Distinguished plenary lectures were delivered by four eminent scholars: Prof. Jeffrey Walker from Monash University in Australia,Prof. Sen Jia from Shenzhen University, Prof. Yaoping Cui from Henan University, andProf. Jie Chen from Central South University. Their cutting-edge academic contributions attracted considerable attention from participating experts and scholars. Following the presentations, genral chairsProf. Jian Yao from Wuhan University and Assoc. Prof. Chen Tao from China University of Geosciences, Wuhan presented honorary certificates to the four distinguished speakers in recognition of their exceptional scholarly communication. This ceremonial conclusion underscored the conference's commitment to fostering interdisciplinary exchanges and acknowledging academic excellence within the geospatial research community.
