About
Swagata Ghosh is an environmental remote sensing researcher whose work focuses on the critical challenge of aerosol monitoring in rapidly urbanizing regions of India. Her primary research areas include satellite-based aerosol retrieval, air quality assessment, and the application of advanced remote sensing products for environmental monitoring in the National Capital Region (NCR). Ghosh’s most significant contribution is her comprehensive evaluation of MODIS C6.1 Dark Target and Deep Blue aerosol products over Delhi NCR, a study that has garnered 37 citations for its practical insights into aerosol characterization in one of the world’s most polluted urban corridors. This work provides essential validation of satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrievals in underexplored, complex urban environments. Her subsequent research on the MAIAC AOD product further expands the methodological toolkit for aerosol studies in the region, addressing critical gaps in monitoring where ground-based measurements are sparse. Ghosh’s research is particularly impactful for policymakers and environmental scientists working on air pollution mitigation, demonstrating how satellite remote sensing can effectively bridge observational gaps in data-scarce urbanized areas of the developing world.
