Description: "The Land Information Department of the College of Land Science and Technology at China Agricultural University originated from the ""China Agricultural Remote Sensing Application and Training Center,"" established in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1979. The department has long held a leading position in the domestic agricultural and land 3S (Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems, and Global Positioning Systems) research and application fields. Currently, the research focus of the Land Information Department includes three main directions: agricultural remote sensing and agricultural disaster monitoring and early warning, national land resource survey and farmland quality monitoring, and detailed detection of farmland utilization processes and agricultural geographic big data. The School of Information and Electrical Engineering at China Agricultural University, formerly the Geographic Information Engineering Department, has been integrated into the College of Land Science and Technology, and the GIS major is no longer offered. However, the CAU-BeiDou Team, affiliated with the school, continues to conduct research related to GIS with a focus on two main directions: unmanned agricultural machinery and agricultural machinery big data. Students interested in pursuing graduate studies can apply for doctoral, master's, or professional master's programs within the School of Information and Electrical Engineering and join the CAU-BeiDou Team to engage in research. Detailed information regarding program selection and research opportunities can be obtained through the CAU-BD Team's official WeChat account (CAU-BD) or the respective mentor's website."
