Professor Liang received his BS and MS degrees from Nanjing University and Ph.D degree from Boston University. He published more than 430 peer-reviewed English journal papers, eight English books (five of which were translated into Chinese and published in China). He is an Editor-in-Chief of Science of Remote Sensing. He was the Editor-in-Chief of the nine-volume books “Comprehensive Remote Sensing “(Elsevier, 2017), and is currently working on the second edition of those books as the Editor-in-Chief. He also served as an Associate Director of the State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Sciences, and the Dean of School of Geography, Beijing Normal University, China. He has led to develop many high-level satellite products, particularly, the Global LAnd Surface Satellite (GLASS) products suite that is freely available at www.glass.umd.edu and www.geodata.cn, and has been widely used worldwide.
