Dr. Charles Wong

Charles

 

Dr. Man Sing WONG received his M.Phil. and Ph.D. degree in Remote Sensing and GIS from the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, in 2005 and 2009, respectively. In 2006-2007, he was a Fulbright scholar with the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center, University of Maryland, College Park. He is the official site manager for the two AERONET stations in Hong Kong. He has been working in various projects including the use of remote sensing to study urban heat island effect, urban environmental quality, landslides, vegetation and ecosystems, spectral mixture analysis, aerosol retrieval and air quality monitoring.
