Application of CACSM, Wuhan University Introduction of CACSM, WHU Chinese Antarctic Center of Surveying and Mapping (CACSM) which belongs to Wuhan University was established in 1991 with the formal dispatch of Chinese National Committee on Antarctic Research and China’s State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping. As a specialized polar scientific research institution, it is dedicated to the implementation of the surveying and mapping for Chinese National Polar Research Expedition, and the research of polar science in surveying, mapping and remote sensing; meanwhile, it is involved in national and international academic communication in polar geodesy and geomatics. Organization : Polar Geodesy and Geodynamics Polar Remote Sensing Applications Evaluation of Polar Geographic Information, Resources and Environment Solid Earth Physics and Polar Oceanology Polar Strategy
Ed Education Currently, CACSM has 10 professors, 12 associate professors and 8 lecturers. There are over 70 postgraduates studying under their tuition. During the past 30 years, CACSM has fostered over 200 postgraduates altogether.

Com ommunicati tion and and outr utreach ch CACSM always participates in the activities organized by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). Prof. Li Fei, the director of CACSM, also the vice president of WHU is Chinese national representative of Geoscience Standing Scientific Group (GSSG), SCAR Hold several international or national polar symposiums such as International Symposium on Remote Sensing and Global Change, International GIS Workshop on East Antarctica and China Symposium on Polar Science 2011 Dispatched staffs and postgraduates to foreign countries such as USA, England, Germany, Norway, Australia to study and communicate Made ~ 1000 polar scientific expedition lectures to students in China
