About
Dr. Yeap Eng Choon is a leading environmental scientist specializing in atmospheric aerosol dynamics, biomass burning emissions, and remote sensing applications. His most impactful work centers on characterizing the optical properties of aerosols during extreme fire events, particularly through the analysis of AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) data. His seminal 2019 study on the 2015 Indonesian burning season, which has garnered 78 citations, provided critical insights into how severe El Niño-driven drought enabled unprecedented peatland combustion, fundamentally altering aerosol optical depth and single-scattering albedo in the region. This research has become essential reading for climate modelers and policy makers addressing transboundary haze pollution in Southeast Asia. Dr. Yeap’s contributions have advanced our understanding of how land-use changes and climate variability interact to produce extreme aerosol loading events, directly informing air quality management strategies. His work is widely cited in atmospheric chemistry and climate science literature, establishing him as a key authority on biomass burning aerosol characterization in tropical environments.
