About
Lizhu Xing is a leading researcher in atmospheric aerosol science, with a primary focus on aerosol classification, optical properties, and their climatic impacts. Her work has significantly advanced our understanding of how different aerosol types—such as dust, pollution-dominated mixtures, and strongly absorbing aerosols—influence the Earth's radiative balance. In her highly cited 2021 study (26 citations), Xing pioneered a global aerosol classification method using AERONET particle linear depolarization ratio (PLDR) and single-scattering albedo (SSA) data from 52 stations, enabling precise identification of dust and other aerosol types. Her subsequent 2021 paper (15 citations) extended this framework to East and Southeast Asia, analyzing fine- and coarse-mode aerosol direct radiative forcing across five key regions, including northern China, the Tibetan Plateau, and Southeast Asia. This work is critical for regional climate modeling and air quality management. Xing’s research is notable for its rigorous use of AERONET Version 3 data and its practical implications for understanding aerosol–cloud interactions and radiative forcing. Her contributions are widely cited by atmospheric scientists and climate modelers, underscoring her impact on global aerosol research.
