Problems of field data collection in geodetic measurements
The advantages of semi-automatic and automatic data collection equipments are detailed. The construction of a new intelligent data collection system is described.
Evaluating soil erosion models using measured plot data : accounting for variability in the data
The objective of this study was to construct a method for incorporating erosional variability into a system of model evaluation whereby model predictions are compared to measured erosion plot data. The result is a quantitative, statistically based
Evaluation of the collection, archiving and publication of daily snow data in the United States
Snow is an important component of the earth's environment and can significantly impact the everyday life. The quality of the data varies from one state to another, although it tends to be weakest where snow is least common. As a result
of this evaluation, the list of stations with daily snow data published in National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climatological Data publications has been revised and expanded.

Estimation of net productivity in China using remote sensing data
In this paper a net primary productivity (NPP) model based on remote sensing data and climate data is developed. And then using this model and 1km resolution monthly AVHRR NDVI data, the spatial distribution and seasonal change of NPP in China
