Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the winner of the Remote Sensing 2023 Young Investigator Award is Dr. Jing Wei.

Dr. Jing Wei is a researcher at the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center at the University of Maryland, College Park, USA. Dr. Wei’s research interests are in atmospheric aerosols; clouds; particulate matter; and trace gases using remote sensing, big data, and artificial intelligence. Dr. Wei received his PhD in 2021 and has outstanding publication and citation records, with a dozen being highly cited by the Web of Science, as well as over 4,300 citations and an H-index of 34 on the Stanford University List of the World’s Top 2% Scientists (2022, 2021). He is clearly a rising star in the field of atmospheric remote sensing research, as attested by his record-breaking performance among his peers.

He also provides support for community services by serving on numerous editorial boards. He has been an Editor of Earth System Science Data, an associate editor of Remote Sensing, and Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres. He has received several awards, including the AGU James R. Holton Award (2022), Zhou Tingru Geography Youth Award (2021), Gao Tingyao Environmental Protection Outstanding Youth Award (2020), and Li Xiaowen Remote Sensing Science Youth Award (2019). Please join us in congratulating Dr. Wei on his outstanding achievements.

We would like to thank all the nominators from various fields of study for their participation and all the Award Committee Members for their evaluation of the many excellent nominations.
