The Center for Environmental Re- mote Sensing (CEReS) is the only one research institute in Japanese national universities which bears the word “Remote Sensing”. CEReS conducts re- searches on remote sensing science and technology, and its application towards tackling environmental problems. “Maps showing time-series variation of water requirement for rice cultivation”

Its research activities are categorized into three programs; (1) Innovation in remote sensing technology and data (ex. SKYNET), and geospatial data researches and frequent exchange of algorithms (Development of sensor and (ex.
