About

Jianzhong Liu is a leading planetary scientist whose work bridges lunar exploration and Earth environmental monitoring. His primary research focuses on lunar geology, remote sensing, and the characterization of the Moon’s surface and interior, with significant contributions to our understanding of the South Pole–Aitken basin—the largest and oldest impact feature on the Moon. His 2018 study on the Apollo peak-ring basin provided critical insights into the structure and evolution of this ancient terrain, earning 48 citations. Liu’s influence extends to Earth sciences: his 2018 paper on synergizing AERONET and MODIS data to estimate PM2.5 concentrations in Beijing (31 citations) demonstrates his versatility in applying remote sensing techniques to air quality challenges. More recently, his 2024 work on lunar exploration perspectives (68 citations) and digital twin analysis of Yutu-2 rover data (20 citations) highlight his ongoing role in China’s Chang’E missions, advancing our knowledge of lunar farside regolith and rock properties. With a career spanning planetary and atmospheric science, Liu’s research is essential for future lunar exploration and environmental monitoring.
