About
Po-Hsiung Lin is a leading researcher in atmospheric remote sensing and air quality, with a particular focus on satellite-based estimation of fine particulate matter. His most influential work centers on developing high-resolution methods to map ground-level PM₂.₅ concentrations, a critical step for understanding and mitigating air pollution in densely populated regions. In his landmark 2015 study, Lin pioneered the use of aerosol optical depth (AOD) data from the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) satellite to estimate PM₂.₅ across eastern China at an unprecedented 6 km resolution. This work, which has garnered over 80 citations, demonstrated how geostationary satellite instruments can capture the dynamic, hourly variations of particulate pollution, offering a major improvement over polar-orbiting satellites. By implementing a sophisticated statistical model linking columnar AOD to surface concentrations, Lin provided a powerful tool for public health monitoring and environmental policy. His contributions have been instrumental in advancing satellite-based air quality research, enabling more accurate exposure assessments and informing pollution control strategies in one of the world’s most polluted regions.
