About
Vipasha Sharma is an environmental remote sensing researcher whose work focuses on aerosol monitoring and air quality assessment in rapidly urbanizing regions of India. Her key research areas include satellite-based aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieval, validation of spaceborne aerosol products, and the application of remote sensing for atmospheric environmental studies in the National Capital Region (NCR). Sharma’s most cited work, “Performance of MODIS C6.1 Dark Target and Deep Blue aerosol products in Delhi National Capital Region, India: Application for aerosol studies” (2021), has garnered 37 citations and critically evaluates the accuracy of two major MODIS aerosol retrieval algorithms over a densely populated, pollution-prone area. This contribution is vital for improving satellite-based air quality monitoring in regions where ground-based observations are sparse. Her subsequent study on the MAIAC AOD product (2022) extends this analysis, exploring spatial and temporal variations of aerosols in the underexplored NCR urban corridor. By systematically validating satellite data against ground measurements, Sharma’s work supports the emerging field of satellite remote sensing for aerosol assessment, aiding policymakers and researchers in understanding the health and climate impacts of particulate pollution in South Asian megacities.
