Oasis is a special ecological landscape of the arid land. Nevertheless, the oasis study had not been regarded as an important research field until the end of the 19th century. In the past two decades, a certain progress has been made in the study of oases, and a series of achievements have been attained with the development of RS, GIS and some other new land monitoring technologies. Based on recent research literature available, this paper deals with five important problems, i.e., the formation and development of oasis, the oasis water resources, the oasis LUCC, the oasis agriculture and the ecological environment protection of oasis. Based on detailed analyses, the authors point out the existent problems and put forward some opinions on the development of RS technology for the study of oases in China.
