Dataset of desertification related land cover distribution along China-Mongolia railway (Mongolia section) in 2015(2015年中蒙铁路(蒙古段)沿线沙漠化土地覆盖分布数据集)

Introduction: This dataset was the land cover distribution data related to desertification along the China-Mongolia railway (Mongolia section) in 2015. This dataset used the object-oriented remote sensing image interpretation method to obtain the desertification data with a resolution of 30 meters along the China-Mongolia railway (Mongolia section) in 2015. It was collected and organized by the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, CAS. It can be used to study the risk assessment of desertification in China-Mongolia railway, providing an important basis for preventing sandstorms, floods and other disasters caused by desertification and alleviating the negative impact of desertification.

UN DRR initiatives and UNESCO Action on DRR(联合国防灾减灾的主动性和联合国教科文组织关于防灾减灾的行动)

Introduction: UNESCO operates at the interface between natural and social sciences, education, culture and communication playing a vital role in constructing a global culture of resilient communities. UNESCO assists countries to build their capacities in managing disaster and climate risk and with their ability to cope with disasters. The Organization provides a forum for governments to work together and it provides essential scientific and practical advice in disaster risk reduction. UNESCO’s programmes in relation to the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) cut across all of its areas of competence (education, natural and social sciences, culture and communication). Working alone or in collaboration with both UN Agencies and other scientific entities, UNESCO has been a catalyst for international, inter-disciplinary cooperation in many aspects of disaster risk reduction and mitigation.

Our ability to read and comprehend this project quickly during adjudication was a mark in its favor. Very clear and accessible for non-professional audiences thanks to the graphics and organization.

Introduction: The project marks the development of Cornwall Park, one of New Zealand's most valuable urban public spaces. This project provides an extraordinary opportunity to think about a very long time span, and its design needs to strike a balance between the three elements: the Maori cultural landscape, the vision of early settlers and founders, and the agriculture of New Zealand. Landscape and local ecological resources. The master plan considers these three dimensions in parallel with park projects and service infrastructure. The final program expands the capacity of the park to support a healthy urban ecology and will provide visitors of all ages with access to education and relaxation over the next 100 years.

Introduction to Probability: The Science of Uncertainty(概率论:不确定性的科学)

Introduction: The world is full of uncertainty: accidents, storms, unruly financial markets, noisy communications. The world is also full of data. Probabilistic modeling and the related field of statistical inference are the keys to analyzing data and making scientifically sound predictions. Probabilistic models use the language of mathematics. But instead of relying on the traditional "theorem - proof" format, we develop the material in an intuitive -- but still rigorous and mathematically precise -- manner. Furthermore, while the applications are multiple and evident, we emphasize the basic concepts and methodologies that are universally applicable.
