The Application of Remote Sensing Technology in Geohazard Prevention & Mitigation, Water Conservancy Engineering and Transportation Engineering Yu Xina, Qiusheng Linb, Xin Zhanga aDepartment of Civil Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China 100084 bDepartment of Hydraulic Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China 100084 Keywords: Remote sensing, geohazard prevention and mitigation, water conservancy, transportation engineering Abstract.
Now it has been applied comprehensively in such area as geohazard prevention & mitigation, water conservancy engineering and transportation engineering.
Nowadays, there are few remote sensing researchers that have a good knowledge of geographical engineering.
Meanwhile, the flight of a plane has to get the approval of the civil aviation administration bureau and the air force administration organization, which is fairly troublesome.
Conclusions There emerged many cases of the remote sensing technology’s application in the field of geohazard prevention & mitigation, water conservancy engineering, transportation engineering and so on.

Sub-bottom profiler can tell hydraulic and civil engineers what the embankments’ foundation like, especially the distribution of enrockments.
With these information, engineers can evaluate the safety of embankments and decide what to do to keep them standing strong.
Background For a long time, hydraulic and civil engineers hope they can find a technical method or equipment to survey the inner structures of embankments’ foundation quickly and thoroughly.
