About
Boon Ning Chew is an atmospheric scientist whose research centers on aerosol vertical distributions, optical properties, and the complex interplay between aerosols and meteorology over the Maritime Continent. A key contributor to the Seven Southeast Asian Studies (7SEAS) program, Chew has advanced our understanding of how biomass burning emissions and regional weather patterns shape air quality and climate in Southeast Asia. Their work includes deploying and analyzing data from Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) sun photometers and Micro-Pulse Lidar Network (MPLNET) instruments in Singapore, providing critical ground-based observations for satellite validation and climate modeling. Chew’s studies on the relationship between aerosol optical depth and particulate matter have clarified how vertical distribution affects surface air quality, a finding with direct implications for public health and policy. With papers accumulating over 170 citations, including influential works on Singapore’s aerosol environment and the 2012 southwest monsoon intensive study, Chew’s research is foundational for scientists and students investigating regional aerosol dynamics, remote sensing, and the environmental impacts of seasonal burning in the Maritime Continent.
