A Stepwise Calibration of Global DMSP/OLS Stable Nighttime Light Data (1992–2013) [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2017 The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP)/Operational Linescan System (OLS) stable nighttime light (NTL) data provide a wide range of potentials for studying global and regional dynamics, such as urban sprawl and electricity consumption. However, due to the lack of on-board calibration, it requires inter-annual calibration for these practical

Subnational Border Reforms and Economic Activity in Africa
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using GIS methods, we identify territories in Africa affected by subnational border reforms between 1992 and 2013. Descriptive statistics reveal that these territories differed from other African regions across several key dimensions. For example, these territories were more populous and exhibited greater ethnic diversity.
