About
Dr. Kwoh Leong Keong is a distinguished remote sensing scientist whose research centers on atmospheric aerosol characterization, biomass burning dynamics, and satellite-based environmental monitoring. His most impactful work, the 2019 study "AERONET Remotely Sensed Measurements and Retrievals of Biomass Burning Aerosol Optical Properties During the 2015 Indonesian Burning Season" (78 citations), provides critical insights into one of the most severe peatland fire events on record. This research uniquely combined ground-based AERONET observations with satellite retrievals to quantify aerosol optical properties during the extreme 2015 El Niño-driven Indonesian fires, revealing how drained peatlands contributed to unprecedented atmospheric pollution. Dr. Kwoh's contributions have significantly advanced our understanding of how land-use changes and climate variability interact to produce extreme biomass burning events, with direct implications for regional air quality management and global climate modeling. His work serves as an essential reference for scientists studying fire-aerosol-climate feedbacks in Southeast Asia, demonstrating the power of integrated remote sensing approaches in environmental crisis assessment.
