* Project Proposals:
* Expanding the research for application of VNREDSat-1 satellite image to support environmental, natural resource monitoring and management in the northern midland region.
* In our future work, we are going to focus on further development of the geospatial database and information related to natural and man-made environment, socio-economic, biological environment of PhuTho Natural Resource WebGIS. Next development phase is upgrading the PhuTho Natural Resource WebGISto a higher level as PhuTho Portal. Future direction is implementing the program for monitoring, evaluate and forecast the impact of natural disasters due to climate change, the impact of the socio-economic activities to propose reasonable solutions to support sustainable development of the northern midland region as well as Phu Tho province.
