About
Yichen Li is a researcher specializing in atmospheric remote sensing and aerosol science, with a particular focus on air quality monitoring over China using satellite-based observations. Their work has made meaningful contributions to our understanding of aerosol optical depth (AOD) — a key measure of atmospheric particulate matter — and its relationship to biomass burning events and broader pollution patterns across the region. Among their most notable contributions is a study merging AOD data from multiple satellite missions to track agricultural biomass burning (ABB) in Central and East China, which has accumulated 22 citations. This work demonstrated how combining datasets from different platforms can provide a more comprehensive picture of seasonal burning events, particularly the intense June 2007 episode affecting Anhui, Henan, Jiangsu, and Shandong provinces. Complementing this, Li also led the development of a long-term, nine-year AOD dataset over China derived from MODIS imagery using the Synergetic Retrieval of Aerosol Properties (SRAP) method, earning 13 citations. Together, these studies provide valuable tools for researchers and policymakers monitoring air quality trends and the environmental impacts of agricultural practices across one of the world's most densely populated regions.
