I'm soon starting up a Nighttime Lights Remote Sensing webinar. Speakers will come from all over the world, and the talks will take place alternately in the (European) morning or late afternoon/evening, to allow international participation.

The first talk in […]

A really interesting paper just came out in Science a few weeks ago: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adv9472

The authors compared satellite measurements of #LightPollution from #VIIRS_DNB to 2.6 million bird calls recorded at 7,824 locations […]

Text says Aotearoa (New Zealand) by starlight and airglow. 7 years cloud-free, moon-free data from VIIRS DNB. Equivalent exposure ~1s. Processing by Helga Kuechly. Image shows a satellite view of Aotearoa at night with no clouds. The cities are shining brightly, and you can clearly make out the albedo differences at the land-water boundary, as well as the bright reflection from glaciers.

Reminder: my #LPS25 talk is tomorrow - literally the last talk of the conference.

But I promise it's going to be entertaining and you'll leave on a high note! Here's a sneak peak...
