Mission: 

We are dedicated to investigating and mitigating natural hazards resulting from climate change and earthquakes and intelligently monitoring geo-structures, aiming to enhance the resilience of our infrastructure. We will also focus on utilizing remote sensing and AI to detect carbon emissions and seek effective solutions for carbon collection.
