About Geocarto International Centre

Geocarto International Centre (GIC) was established in 1985 in Hong Kong to promote multi-disciplinary research in and applications of Remote Sensing, GIS, Geoscience, and Cartography through (1) publication of scientific and professional periodicals, books, images, and maps; (2) distribution services for publishers of these subjects, (3) organization of exhibitions on Remote Sensing & GIS, (4) marketing of satellite data (digital and photographic products) and image processing software for research projects and practical applications, and (5) provision of technical advice and image processing services to customers in the application of Remote Sensing technologies.

GIC is the only organization in Asia that performs such an integrated function in promoting Remote Sensing technologies. Its quarterly journal, Geocarto International, has publicized several commercial earth observation satellites by publishing special issues, such as SPOT (Vol. 1, No. 3, 1986), Landsat TM (Vol. 5, No. 1, 1990), RADARSAT (Vol. 10, No. 3, 1995), and ADEOS (Vol. 12, No. 4, 1997).
