December 14, 2012, Beijing-Claudia Kueenzer, scientist at the German Earth Observation Center (EOC) of the German Aerospace Center, visited ITP to conduct academic exchanges with ITP scientists.

Her visit mainly included an academic report entitled “Earth Observation for Global Change Analyses”. In her report, she summarized the application of the aerospace remote sensing to the study of long-term environmental changes and their dynamical processes. With a particular focus on illustrating the application of improved MODIS products to snow cover data extraction for the central Asia and European regions, she also updated audiences on the latest research progresses in snow cover data processing in China.
