About
Tianquan Liang is a leading researcher in atmospheric aerosol science, with a focus on the spatiotemporal dynamics of aerosol optical depth (AOD) across Asia. His work is critical for understanding air quality and climate impacts in one of the world’s most aerosol-rich regions. Liang’s major contributions include the rigorous validation and analysis of satellite-derived AOD products, particularly the MAIAC and CALIPSO datasets, against ground-based AERONET measurements. His 2022 study, “Validation and Analysis of MAIAC AOD Aerosol Products in East Asia from 2011 to 2020,” which has garnered 16 citations, provides essential verification for a key satellite product, enabling more accurate identification of aerosol distribution patterns. More recently, his 2024 paper comparing CALIPSO and AERONET data across Asia, with 4 citations, further refines the accuracy of satellite observations. By systematically evaluating these datasets over multi-year periods, Liang has established a foundational framework for aerosol research in the region, directly supporting studies on climate forcing and environmental health. His meticulous approach to data validation makes him a vital contributor to the global effort to monitor and mitigate atmospheric pollution.
