Qihao Weng (born June 1964 in Fuzhou, China) is an American geographer, urban, environmental sustainability and remote sensing scientist. He is currently a professor of geography in the Department of Earth and Environmental Systems at the Indiana State University.
Weng's work focuses on remote sensing applications to urban environmental and ecological systems, land-use and land-cover changes, urbanization impacts, spatial environmental modeling, and human-environment interactions..[1] Through a serial invention of innovative algorithms, techniques, methods and theories for urban remote sensing, Weng’s research fosters the science and technology of remote sensing and satellite imaging in geographical and environmental applications.[1]
Weng is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.
Weng is currently the Lead of the Group on Earth Observation’s (GEO) Global Urban Observation and Information Initiative[2], He is also an editor-in-chief of ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing[3], the official peer-reviewed publication of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing on photogrammetry and remote sensing. Additionally, he serves as the book series editor of Taylor & Francis Series in Remote Sensing Applications[4] and Taylor & Francis Series in Imaging Science[5].

Early life and education
Weng grew up in Fuzhou, a city in the southeastern coast of China. He received his undergraduate education in Geography from Minjiang University in 1984. After working as a middle school teacher for three years, he went to Guangzhou, studied and received a master's degree from South China Normal University in Physical Geography in 1990. In 1993, he came to the United States, obtained another master's degree from the University of Arizona in Geography in 1996, and finally a PhD in Geography from the University of Georgia in 1999. His dissertation focuses on the environmental impacts of land use and land cover change under the influence of rapid industrialization and urbanization[6]. By using the Pearl River Delta of southern China as an example, his research examines the impacts of China’s economic reform policy (since the late 1970s) on environmental and ecological processes[7][8]. He approached this problem through an integrated approach of remote sensing, GIS, and spatial environmental modeling by utilizing satellite images, existing maps, statistics, and field survey data[9].
Career
In 1999, Weng began teaching and researching at the University of Alabama. He successfully secured a funding from the National Geographic Society to study Guangzhou’s urban growth and its impact on local climate and air quality[10], and to model and monitor urban heat islands using satellite temperature measurements[11]
In 2001, he was appointed as a tenure-track assistant professor of geography at Indiana State University, becoming a tenured associate professor in 2005 and full professor in 2009. He was a National Director of American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2007-2010, representing Western Great Lakes Region.
From December 2008 to December 2009, he worked at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center as a senior fellow. Some of his research has focused on urbanization effects on climate and surface energy balance.[12]
In 2019, he was awarded a fellowship from Japan Society for the Promotion of Science under the "JSPS Invitational Fellowships for Research in Japan" (Short-term S)[13]. He worked at Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, the University of Tsukuba.
His 2004 paper, Estimation of land surface temperature–vegetation abundance relationship for urban heat island studies.[14], developed a methodology for estimating land surface temperature with satellite-derived measures of vegetation that has become a core technique for those investigating urban climates[15]. Weng’s seminal research on urban heat islands, landscape effects on land surface temperature, and urbanization processes opened a critical new frontier towards understanding and measuring novel environmental risks in rapidly growing urban regions[15]. His research has also demonstrated that urban sprawl and warming are not an isolated phenomenon, but instead are coupled with other risk factors, such as infectious disease[15]
