The 4th Academic Forum of the Jiangsu-Hong Kong-Macao University Alliance for Remote Sensing and Environment was successfully held at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) from 29 to 30 October 2025. Jointly organised by PolyU and the Jiangsu-Hong Kong-Macao University Alliance (JHMUA), the event was hosted by the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) and the Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL), with strong support from the Faculty of Construction and Environment (FCE), Mainland Development Office (MDO), State Key Laboratory of Coastal and Urban Climate Resilience, Research Institute for Sustainable Urban Development (RISUD), Research Institute for Land and Space (RILS) and the School of Environment and Spatial Informatics of China University of Mining and Technology.
Prof. Charles Man Sing WONG, Professor of LSGI, Associate Dean of FCE, Associate Director of RISUD and management committee member of RILS, chaired the JHMUA Remote Sensing and Environment Annual Meeting. He facilitated discussions among representatives from alliance member universities, who joined both online and in-person, to deliberate on the consortium's strategic direction and future collaborations.
During Opening Ceremony, Prof. WONG extended a warm welcome to all participants and reflected on the alliance's journey since its establishment in 2022. He highlighted the platform's vital role in strengthening the scientific and educational bonds among Jiangsu, Hong Kong and Macao.
The scientific program delved into the forefront of remote sensing and environmental science, covering critical topics such as climate change, air quality, carbon emission monitoring, geological hazard detection and Earth system science. These themes were explored through a series of high-caliber invited reports delivered by renowned scholars, including:
- Prof. Guo-qiang SHI (PolyU)
- Prof. Xiao-lin ZHU (PolyU)
- Prof. Bo HUANG (HKU)
- Prof. Hui SU (HKUST)
- Prof. Meng GAO (HKBU)
- Prof. Fei JIANG (Nanjing University)
- Prof. Huilin CHEN (Nanjing University)
- Prof. Zhong LU (China University of Mining and Technology)
- Prof. Liang GAO (University of Macau)
The forum successfully promoted academic exchange and strengthened collaboration in remote sensing and environmental research among universities in Jiangsu, Hong Kong and Macao.
