[8] Remer's research involves tracking dust in the air using space-based platforms[9] and quantifies how aerosols alter climate conditions.
[10][11] While at NASA, Remer worked on the algorithms needed to understand aerosol particles using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors that are part of the payload on the Terra and Aqua satellites.
[15] Remer has also been involved in research quantifying the balance of pollution from US-based sites relative to other geographical regions.
