About
Calli B. Jenkerson is a leading figure in remote sensing and Earth observation, specializing in the calibration and validation of satellite-derived surface reflectance data. Her work is foundational to ensuring the accuracy and interoperability of global land surface products used for climate and environmental monitoring. Her most-cited paper, "Characterizing LEDAPS surface reflectance products by comparisons with AERONET, field spectrometer, and MODIS data" (2013, 67 citations), is a landmark study that rigorously assessed the quality of the LEDAPS (Landsat Ecosystem Disturbance Adaptive Processing System) dataset. By cross-referencing Landsat data with ground-based AERONET observations, field spectrometer measurements, and MODIS imagery, Jenkerson provided a critical validation framework that has become a standard reference for researchers using Landsat time series. Her contributions have directly improved the reliability of long-term land cover change analyses, enabling more confident studies of deforestation, urbanization, and vegetation dynamics. Jenkerson’s meticulous approach to data quality assurance has made her work indispensable for scientists and students alike who rely on consistent, well-characterized satellite products for their research.
