Protecting China’s wetlands
1 JANUARY 2003
The International Centre of WATER for Food Security based at the Charles Sturt University (CSU) Wagga Wagga Campus will host a seminar by Dr Shuqing Zang, Professor of Remote Sensing (RS) and GIS, Vice-Director of Remote Sensing and GIS Department, Northeast Institute of Geography and Agricultural Ecology, Changchun City, China. Dr Zang will detail studies on wetland landscape pattern dynamics under heavy human and natural influences. The report will examine two case studies to demonstrate the wetland landscape dynamics under the impacts of human activities and natural factors. One is about the Sanjiang Plain marsh, the biggest freshwater wetland in China, the other is about the Qian’an Group lakes. With the help of RS and GIS techniques, the pattern formation and dynamics of these wetlands with different driving forces can be analysed, helping to protect China’s wetlands.
