About
Sergii Skakun is a leading figure in satellite remote sensing, specializing in atmospheric correction, surface reflectance validation, and the quantitative analysis of optical satellite imagery. His work is foundational to ensuring the accuracy and interoperability of data from major Earth observation missions, particularly Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2. Dr. Skakun’s most impactful contribution is his leadership in the Atmospheric Correction Inter-comparison eXercise (ACIX-II Land), a landmark study that systematically assessed the performance of state-of-the-art atmospheric correction processors. This highly cited work (63 citations) established a critical benchmark for the global remote sensing community, enabling more reliable multi-temporal and multi-sensor analyses. He has also advanced the field by developing novel frameworks for deriving aerosol models from the AERONET database, directly improving the validation of surface reflectance products (12 citations). Through these rigorous validation and inter-comparison efforts, Dr. Skakun has significantly enhanced the scientific utility of petabytes of freely available satellite data, empowering researchers to monitor Earth’s surface with unprecedented confidence and precision.
