About
Suk-Jo Lee is a leading atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on the detection and characterization of mineral dust aerosols, particularly over East Asia. His most-cited work, the 2013 paper "Combined dust detection algorithm by using MODIS infrared channels over East Asia," has garnered 57 citations and represents a significant methodological contribution to remote sensing. Lee developed a novel algorithm that leverages the infrared channels of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) to identify dust plumes more accurately than traditional visible-light methods, which are often hampered by clouds or bright surfaces. This advancement has proven critical for monitoring the transport of Asian dust—a major environmental and health hazard affecting millions across China, Korea, and Japan. By improving the detection of these events, Lee’s work directly supports air quality forecasting, climate modeling, and public health advisories. His research bridges satellite technology and applied environmental science, offering a robust tool for understanding the lifecycle of dust aerosols. With his algorithm now widely adopted in regional studies, Suk-Jo Lee stands as a key figure in the ongoing effort to monitor and mitigate the impacts of natural aerosol emissions.
