Aero Geophysical Survey And Remote Sensing Center (AGRS), under the China Geology Survey (CGS), is mainly engaged in application, research and development of airborne geophysical exploration and remote sensing technology, and conducts the basic, strategic and public geological investigations.

　　AGRS owns 4 Twin Otter and 2 Y-12 aircrafts equipped with the advanced airborne geophysical exploration system, the aero-photographic system and the multi-spectrum scanner system. AGRS can carry out various investigations in any area and terrain including medium and high mountain areas, deserts, lakes, marshlands and sea areas in China and abroad.

　　AGRS has completed the airborne geophysical exploration that covered 9,300,000 km2 of inland and 2,300,000 km2 of offshore in China. Over 140 large and medium-sized mineral deposits have been discovered and over 2800 oil-bearing structures delineated. Many great results have been obtained in geological structure study, mineral reconnaissance, oil and gas exploration.

　　3 million km2 in China have been covered by airborne remote sensing survey. Great amount of important results have been obtained in the comprehensive investigations of over 100large and medium-sized cities, islands, water depth, geological hazards and environment; and in the geological stability evaluation for the key projects and the area along the highways; as well as in the monitoring for forest fire, flood, land-slide, coal-bed fire and other natural hazards.
