Quantitative remote sensing has been widely applied and is rapidly advancing in fields such as climate change, ecological and environmental monitoring, resource surveying, and precision agriculture. To promote the dissemination of theoretical methods in quantitative remote sensing, track the latest research and application frontiers, foster interdisciplinary integration, and cultivate professional talents, the School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering at Wuhan University has organized an annual Summer School on Quantitative Remote Sensing since 2019. To date, the program has attracted 24,000 applicants from universities, research institutes, and enterprises in surveying, mapping, and remote sensing across China, with over 660,000 total attendees, and has received strong positive feedback.
To further expand international academic exchange and accelerate its internationalization, the School plans to host the 8th Summer School on Quantitative Remote Sensing and the 5th International Summer School on Quantitative Remote Sensing from July 6 to July 15, 2026.
This international summer school is organized by the School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, and hosted by the Hubei Key Laboratory of Quantitative Remote Sensing of Land and Atmosphere. It is co-organized by University College London (UK) and the Department of Geography, The University of Hong Kong, and supported by the Graduate School and the Office of International Affairs at Wuhan University.
I. The Curriculum
The curriculum of this summer school primarily covers remote sensing data processing, quantitative parameter retrieval, satellite products, and applications in resource and environmental management. Courses will be delivered online in both Chinese and English by internationally renowned experts and outstanding early- and mid-career scholars. Topics include atmospheric, vegetation, soil, agricultural, hydrological, and urban remote sensing, as well as big data processing. Through nearly 50 lectures and specialized talks, the program will systematically introduce theoretical methods, technologies, and applications in quantitative remote sensing and present the latest research progress and applications in the field.
