A study entitled "A global daily soil moisture dataset derived from Chinese FengYun-3B Microwave Radiation Imager (MWRI) (2010-2019)" was published on Scientific Data. The relevant dataset is available online at the National Tibetan Plateau Data Center.Dr. YAO Panpan and Dr. ZHAO Tianjie from the State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Science with the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Dr. LU Hui from Tsinghua University developed this new FY-3B global SSM product from 2010 to 2019, with a spatial resolution of 36 km.

A study published in Nature Communications describes an efficient and intelligent dumpsite detection technique and analyses the correlation between the number of dumpsites and social/economic factors.This work is proposed by a research team of the Key Laboratory of Network Information System Technology at the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

A research group led by Prof. ZENG Yuan from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with the Remote Sensing Laboratories of University of Zurich, retrieved forest functional traits and FD from airborne LiDAR and Sentinel-2 data, and investigated forest functional diversity–productivity relationships using wall-to-wall data in a subtropical forest.

A research team led by Dr. SHI Yusheng from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) quantified the impact of global fire carbon emissions on atmospheric CO₂ concentrations through atmospheric transport model simulations, combined with ground-based and satellite observations validation.

A research team led by Dr. SHI Yusheng from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed a method for estimating CO₂ emissions from coal-fired power plants based on an improved Gaussian plume model and the Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2/3 satellite.

A study published in Scientific Reports describes a high-efficiency mid- and long-wave optical parametric oscillator pump source: Ho: YAG laser, the system achieves high-efficiency 2.1 μm laser output by scanning and optimizing the pump laser wavelength.
