Shanlong Lu
Professor Shanlong Lu is a hydrological and wetland remote sensing scientist. He obtained his Ph.D. in Remote Sensing of Geology from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. Currently, he serves as a full Professor at the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and as the International Coordinator for SDG 6 at the International Research Center for Big Data for Sustainable Development Goals.
With a long-standing focus on water resources remote sensing, his research interests encompass satellite-based monitoring of spatiotemporal dynamics of surface water, the interaction between surface water changes and regional climate, estimation of lake water storage and river runoff, and geomorphological changes of rivers and lakes. Additionally, he has contributed significantly to the research related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation).
Professor Lu has pioneered several innovative technologies, including the unmanned water detection system platform for water resource, water environment, and ecological monitoring, methods for remote sensing-based monitoring of water surface dynamics, and techniques for estimating lake water storage and river runoff via remote sensing. In recent years, he has led large-scale efforts to monitor and assess the quality of rivers and lakes, agricultural water efficiency, groundwater storage, and changes in surface water area and storage at global, regional, and national scales, producing several comprehensive data sets and products.
