About
Dr. Maznorizan Mohamad is a leading environmental scientist whose research focuses on atmospheric aerosols, biomass burning emissions, and their climatic and ecological impacts. Her most influential work examines the catastrophic 2015 Indonesian burning season, when severe drought and El Niño-driven conditions enabled massive peatland fires. Her landmark 2019 study, which has garnered 78 citations, utilized AERONET remote sensing to characterize aerosol optical properties during this extreme event, providing critical data on how drained peatlands contribute to hazardous particulate emissions. This research has been instrumental in understanding the radiative forcing effects of biomass burning aerosols and informing regional air quality management. Dr. Mohamad’s contributions extend to advancing satellite-based monitoring techniques for fire-prone tropical ecosystems, bridging gaps between ground-based measurements and atmospheric modeling. Her work is widely cited by climate scientists and policymakers addressing transboundary haze pollution in Southeast Asia. Through rigorous field observations and remote sensing analyses, she continues to shape our understanding of how land-use changes and climate variability amplify fire emissions, making her a key voice in sustainable land management and atmospheric science.
