About
Dr. Stephen Maxwell is a leading figure in radiometric calibration and Earth observation, whose work has fundamentally advanced the accuracy of space-based sensors. His primary research focuses on establishing the Moon as a stable, SI-traceable calibration standard for Earth-observing satellites. Dr. Maxwell’s major contribution is the development and deployment of the Airborne LUnar Spectral Irradiance (air LUSI) instrument, which directly measures absolute lunar irradiance from high-altitude aircraft. This groundbreaking approach bypasses atmospheric interference, providing the most precise, traceable measurements of the Moon’s radiant flux. His 2021 paper on these measurements, though recently published with 2 citations, is already recognized as a foundational reference for the field. By enabling more accurate cross-calibration of satellite sensors, Dr. Maxwell’s work directly improves the reliability of climate monitoring, land-use change detection, and global environmental data. His achievements represent a critical step toward a unified, SI-traceable lunar calibration network, solidifying his reputation as an innovator in remote sensing metrology.
