Belen Franch Gras

Belen Franch Gras is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth Physics at the Faculty of Physics, University of Valencia. She is affiliated with the UCG Global Change Unit and the ERI Image Processing Laboratory (IPL), where her research focuses on Earth observation and environmental monitoring using satellite data.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of remote sensing and global environmental change. She specializes in surface albedo estimation, validation of satellite products such as MODIS, and climate-relevant parameter retrieval from Earth observation systems. Her work contributes to improved understanding of land-surface processes and their role in climate dynamics.

The available publications indicate a strong focus on remote sensing methodologies, particularly in the validation and modeling of surface reflectance and albedo products. Her work is grounded in physics-based analysis of satellite data, with applications in climate modeling and environmental monitoring.
