Biograhpy Dr. Hanqiu Xu is currently a Professor at College of Environment and Resources and the Head of the Institute of Remote Sensing Information Engineering, Fuzhou University. He holds a Ph.D. in Geoscience from University College Cork, National University of Ireland. He is a member of the Editorial Board of The Open Remote Sensing Journal, and the Vice President of the Remote Sensing Society of Fujian Province, China. Professor Xu has been listed in International Educators of the Year for 2007 by International Biographical Centre, Cambridge, and in Marquis Who's Who in Science and Engineering, 9th and 11th Editions, respectively. His research interests include feature extraction from satellite imagery and remote sensing of urban heat island dynamics, where he has made significant contributions to the field of thematic feature extraction from remotely sensed imagery. He has proposed several remote sensing indices, including Modified Normalised Difference Water Index (MNDWI), Indexed-based Built-up Land Index (IBI), Normalised Difference Impervious Surface Index (NDISI), Urban-heat-island Ratio Index (URI) and Remote Sensing based Ecological Index (RSEI), published in the International Journals. The MNDWI has been applied worldwide in mapping or extracting open water features from satellite imagery. This has led the paper to the top 1% of the most cited papers in Geosciences of ESI (Essential Science Indicators). The MNDWI is listed in the ENVI software package as a spectral tool for processing water features. The URI is accepted by China National Technical Criterion for Ecosystem Status Evaluation, used as a criterion for thermal evironment evaluation. With the IBI and NDISI, he is able to reveal an exponential relationship between urban built-up land and land surface temperature, which was always thought to be a simple linear relationship. One of his paper was recognized as 2017 Google Scholar Classic Papers in the area Remote Sensing , where it is the first most-cited paper with 804 cites over the period from 2006 to 2017 (Google Scholar Classic Papers are highly-cited papers that have stood the test of time).
