TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the 2008 wetland distribution in China and discussed wetland changes and their drivers over the past 30 years using four wetland maps for all China have been produced, based on Landsat and CBERS-02B remote sensing data.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper produced two wetland maps for the entire China based on Landsat data acquired around 1990 and 2000, and divided the wetland area in China into three broad categories with 15 sub-categories except rice fields.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors derived water-level changes from 56 of the 100 largest lakes in China during the period of 2003 to 2009 using ICESat/GLAS data.

TL;DR: The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System GLAS on board ICESat provided data of high quality with unprecedented accuracy over the globe as discussed by the authors, and these data were used widely to detect changes in Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and to determine forest heights, sea-ice freeboard heights and the distribution of cloud and aerosols.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper reported the first wetland mapping of the entire China using Landsat enhanced thematic mapper plus (ETM+) data, which was only targeted at the boundary delineation of any type of wetland except those wetlands that are under agricultural use.
