Guojin He

Guojin He is a senior research professor at the Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He serves as general Party branch secretary and academic and technical lead of the China Remote Sensing Satellite Ground Station, a national major scientific facility, and as deputy director of the CAS Big Earth Data Science Data Center. He holds a CAS distinguished research appointment (core position) and an appointed professorship at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, receives the State Council Special Government Allowance, and was selected for the CAS Key Technical Talent program. His long-standing research focuses on remote-sensing information engineering. He has led key projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, National Key Research and Development Program projects, CAS Category A Strategic Priority Research Program tasks, and tasks of the Second Tibetan Plateau Scientific Expedition and Research program. He proposed the concept of a ready-to-use (RTU) satellite data product archive and organized rapid processing systems for multi-source satellite RTU products and CASEarth DataBank, which integrates data, computing, and intelligent Earth observation services. He developed methods for recognizing impervious surfaces, photovoltaics, urban buildings, and marine aquaculture in high-resolution imagery, producing the first nationwide 2 m marine aquaculture product and a nationwide 0.3 m photovoltaic distribution product. His team’s global 30 m burned area, forest cover, and land-surface water products have been widely recognized and used. He leads the ecosystem parameter remote-sensing retrieval task of the Second Tibetan Plateau Scientific Expedition, developing quantitative retrieval methods for key ecosystem parameters. In the past five years, he has served as lead author/editor or deputy editor of two monographs, published nearly 50 papers including 34 SCI-indexed papers in Nature, RSE, TGRS, Applied Energy, and other journals, received six national invention patents, and won three provincial, ministerial, or professional society science and technology progress awards.

Tengfei Long

Tengfei Long is an associate research professor and master’s supervisor at the Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He was selected for the CAS Youth Innovation Promotion Association and a CAS distinguished research appointment (backbone position). He serves as a Topic Editor for Remote Sensing and a member of the early-career editorial board of Remote Sensing Technology and Application. His research focuses on intelligent remote-sensing information processing and applications, including high-accuracy image registration, large-scale forest and burned area mapping, and remote sensing for human well-being, such as economic well-being, thermal environments, and public health. He developed the world’s first global 30 m burned area product (GABAM), offering an order-of-magnitude improvement in spatial resolution over comparable international products. He has published more than 100 papers, including over 40 SCI-indexed papers as first or corresponding author, received 16 invention patents, and contributed to six monographs and one national standard. His honors include science and technology progress awards from Beijing and Hainan, the Geoinformation Science and Technology Progress Award, the Surveying and Mapping Science and Technology Award, and the China Lighting Award.
