Alleviate light pollution by recognizing urban night-time light control area based on computer vision techniques and remote sensing imagery

Ecological Indicators
Light pollution caused by unreasonable and excessive use of outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) has become one of the fastest growing and most urgent global environmental problems. Therefore, the International Dark-Sky Association advocated the more

Cannibal Salvage Expenditure: The Subaltern Style of the Urban Peruvian Amazon

Antipode, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the political ecology of subaltern existence at the urban cutting edge of our apocalyptic present, in the case of Iquitos in the Peruvian Amazon. Through an ethnographically surrealist montage of multiple elements across the themes of accumulation, architecture, and art, cannibal salvage expenditure emerges as a subversive ...

Technologies and Practices to Reduce Impacts of Artificial Light at Night on Nightime Scenery [PDF]

, 2019
Artificial light at night (ALAN) adversely impacts nighttime scenery values. Current standards for LED lighting have led to brighter nighttime lighting, using color temperatures that are more harmful to human and ecological health, and which create an ...

Bright needs, dark desires: Public preferences and balancing the benefits of artificial light and natural darkness at night in Aotearoa New Zealand

People and Nature
While serving many useful functions, artificial light at night (ALAN) also leads to the erosion of natural darkness, and of the various benefits that exposure to darkness provides.

Progress towards understanding the effects of artificial light on the transmission of vector-borne diseases

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a common form of light pollution worldwide, and the intensity, timing, duration, and wavelength of light exposure can affect biological rhythms, which can lead to metabolic, reproductive, and immune dysfunctions and ...

Artificial light at night alters the locomotor behavior of the Mediterranean sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus [PDF]

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a recognized source of anthropogenic disturbance, although its effects on biological systems have not been fully explored. Within marine ecosystems, coastal areas are the most impacted by ALAN.

Big data: A case study of disruption and government power [PDF]

, 2017
Although it is part of core government business to collect information about its citizens, ‘big data’ has increased the scale, speed and complexity of data collection and use to such an extent that it is arguably qualitatively different from the record ...

First results from Faint Infrared Grism Survey (FIGS): first simultaneous detection of Lyman-alpha emission and Lyman break from a galaxy at z=7.51 [PDF]

, 2016
Galaxies at high redshifts provide a valuable tool to study cosmic dawn, and therefore it is crucial to reliably identify these galaxies. Here, we present an unambiguous and first simultaneous detection of both the Lyman-alpha emission and the Lyman ...

Illuminating the Arctic: Unveiling seabird responses to artificial light during polar darkness through citizen science and remote sensing

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation
Artificial light at night (ALAN) has global impacts on animals, often negative, yet its effects in polar regions remains largely underexplored. These regions experience prolonged darkness during the polar night, while human activity and artificial ...

Artificial light at night impacts night-time activity but not day-time behaviour in a diurnal coral reef fish

Basic and Applied Ecology
An important, yet overlooked form of anthropogenic pollution is sensory pollution, and one of the most pervasive forms of sensory pollution is artificial light at night (ALAN).
