About

Dr. Chaoshun Liu is a leading researcher in atmospheric remote sensing and air quality monitoring, with a focus on aerosol optical properties and particulate matter pollution. His most impactful contribution is the development of the LGHAP v2 dataset—a global, gap-free, high-resolution (1 km) record of aerosol optical depth (AOD) and PM2.5 concentrations spanning from 2000 to the present. This big Earth data product, cited 27 times since its 2024 release, enables unprecedented long-term, spatially continuous analysis of air pollution trends worldwide. Dr. Liu has also advanced the validation and intercomparison of satellite aerosol data, systematically evaluating CALIOP, MODIS, and AERONET observations over China in highly cited works (2018, 21 citations; 2014, 12 citations). His early research on columnar water vapor retrieval and dust event characterization using multi-sensor approaches laid the groundwork for his integrated, data-driven methodology. Through his work, Dr. Liu has provided the scientific community with essential tools for studying aerosol-climate interactions and assessing the health impacts of air pollution, establishing himself as a key figure in satellite-based environmental monitoring.
