To congratulate Sub-- starting publication of Environment Remote Sensing

thispaper retrospects the history of last decade on remote sensing applications in China.The achievements of ten-odd times remote sensing experiments from 1978 is narrated:（1） resources remote sensing--survey of underground mineral resources andrenewable resources;（2） urban environment remote sensing--monitoring of the pollution of ato-mosphere

water and farmland

dust

vehicle flow and afforestation benefit.（3） energy remote sensing--address choose of reservoir and development ofterrestrial heat and uranium minerals.Emphasis on main experiences are:（1） closely integrating with urgent production problems of our country;（2） making a concerted effort of multi-discipline and multi-department;（3） sharing in the material and information of remote sensing;（4） self-reliance
