Biography
Jane Liu is a professor in the Department of Geography and Planning, University of Toronto. She received her PhD. in atmospheric science in the same university. She is interested in investigating environmental issues relevant to our atmosphere, biosphere, and/or interactions between them using advanced approaches in remote sensing, model simulations, field experiments, and data analysis. She has authored and co-authored over 120 papers in scientific journals including Science Advances, Nature Communications, and Science of the Total Environment. Her H-index is 44 (Google Scholar, 2022). She welcomes highly self-motivated PhD and MSc. students with one or more backgrounds in geography, atmospheric science, environmental science, engineering, physics, mathematics, and other related disciplines.
