According to head of the National Remote Sensing Department Nguyen Xuan Lam, the department has established a system of topographical maps of Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos and building a database to serve the compilation of a map collection on a 1:50,000 scale of the land cover of coastal areas and emerging islets.
The department has also drawn a collection of specialized maps on the 1:1,000,000 scale accompanied by data on the physical, chemical and biological factors as well as sea and island environment for the entire territorial waters of Vietnam ; and setting up a multi-temporal monitoring system using remote sensing and geo-information technologies.
The initial results have opened up prospects for the country to enhance its capacity in the future application of remote sensing technology in the exploration and monitoring of its maritime and island resources and environment.-
