About
Jie Guang is a prominent remote sensing scientist whose research centers on aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieval, atmospheric aerosol characterization, and satellite-based environmental monitoring. Working at the intersection of algorithm development and applied Earth observation, Guang has made significant contributions to retrieving aerosol properties from a diverse array of satellite platforms, including geostationary systems such as Himawari-8/AHI, MSG/SEVIRI, and GOES-16, as well as polar-orbiting sensors like MODIS and AATSR. Among his most impactful achievements is the development and integration of consistent AOD datasets over mainland China, addressing critical gaps in air quality monitoring across one of the world's most aerosol-laden regions. His work on geostationary satellite algorithms has enabled high-frequency, broad-coverage aerosol monitoring that polar-orbiting satellites alone cannot provide, culminating in a pioneering global hourly AOD dataset derived from four geostationary satellites. Guang has also advanced dust storm detection techniques and studied agricultural biomass burning events with societal relevance to air quality management. With his top papers accumulating between 27 and 68 citations each, his collective body of work reflects sustained international influence, offering essential tools and datasets that researchers and policymakers rely upon to understand aerosol dynamics and their climate and health implications worldwide.
