About
Dr. Xirong Liu is a leading figure in satellite remote sensing of atmospheric aerosols, with a focus on advancing the retrieval of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) from geostationary platforms. Her research is critical for enabling high-frequency, dynamic monitoring of air quality and climate-forcing particles. Dr. Liu’s major contributions include pioneering data-driven algorithms for the new-generation Geostationary Ocean Color Imager II (GOCI-II) aboard GEO-KOMPSAT 2B, overcoming the challenge of missing short-wave infrared bands to produce hourly AOD products. She also developed the first AOD retrieval algorithm for China’s Gaofen-4 (GF-4) satellite, unlocking the potential of its panchromatic and multispectral sensor (PMS) for high-resolution atmospheric observation over Eastern China. Her work, cited over 19 times in top remote sensing journals, directly supports real-time pollution tracking and climate studies. By bridging the gap between satellite sensor limitations and operational aerosol monitoring, Dr. Liu’s innovations are instrumental for next-generation geostationary missions and environmental policy.
