Harjinder Sembhi

Harjinder Sembhi is a Lecturer in Earth Observation Science at the School of Physics & Astronomy, University of Leicester. His research focuses on remote sensing applications in environmental monitoring, including crop water stress assessment, urban heat island dynamics, and atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions. He utilizes satellite data (e.g., Sentinel-5P, MODIS, MIPAS) and UAV-based imagery to study agricultural sustainability, air quality policy impacts, and climate-related phenomena.

Key research interests include:

• Remote sensing of crop water conditions and irrigation management
• Urban climate analysis and heat stress mitigation strategies
• Quantification of methane and aerosol emissions using satellite observations
• Policy implications of agricultural practices on air quality

His work bridges geospatial technologies with interdisciplinary challenges, such as integrating climate forecasts with water resource management and evaluating pandemic-related environmental impacts. Collaborations include ESA missions and international researcher exchanges.
