On December 23-24 2008, the kick-off meeting of 973 project 'Space-based Observations of Global Change-sensitive Mechanisms and Methods' was held in Beijing. The Center for Earth Observation and Digital Earth (CEODE) undertakes this project together with seven institutions, including the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Research Institute, Institute of Technical Physics, Wuhan University, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Ocean University of China, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

The project on 'Space-based Observations of Global Change-sensitive Mechanisms and Methods' is designed to carry out many scientific research tasks, including: 1) To analyze the remote sensing capabilities of current global change factors in terms of the demand for research topics of remote sensing information extraction; 2)To improve remote sensing monitoring competency of global change dynamic factors through close cooperation of inter-disciplinary organizations; 3) To settle major key scientific issues in the field of global change on Earth observation; 4) To provide theoretical support for the development of remote sensing sensors and Earth observation systems; 5)To offer professional services to atmospheric, oceanic and land-related research and the application of remote sensing on global change. The implementation of this project is scheduled from January 2009 to August 2013.
