Monte Carlo Simulation of 3D Cloud Radiance Distributions Affected by Ground‐Based Lighting

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Satellite observations of artificial light sources at night are increasing. Clouds, as the most important radiative modulators in the Earth‐atmosphere system, significantly influence the observed values and spatial distribution of the artificial light coming from the ground.

10 May 2024 Gannon Storm: Connecting Energy Flux With Field Aligned Currents and Cross Polar Cap Potential

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract A simulation of the 10 May 2024 geomagnetic storm is used to investigate the theory of cross polar cap potential (CPCP) saturation in Earth's magnetosphere‐ionosphere system. THEMIS B (ARTEMIS P1) satellite magnetic field and plasma measurements at lunar distance upstream in the solar wind drives the Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF) in ...

Tracking Electrification in Vietnam Using Nighttime Lights

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2014
We report on a systematic ground-based validation of DMSP-OLS night lights imagery to detect rural electrification in Vietnam. Based on an original survey of village-level units in Vietnam, this study compares nighttime light output from the U.S.

Colonial origins of agglomeration: Evidence from Malayan rail stations

open access: yesThe Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 1, Page 221-246, February 2026.
Abstract This study examines how historical rail stations condition long‐run development using Colonial Malaya as a laboratory. By constructing novel historical data on rail stations, agglomeration centres, tin mines, and rubber plantations dating back a century and matching contemporary data on economic activity at the 1‐km cell level, we find that ...

Urban Sprawl Undermines Agricultural Supply Chain Resilience: Amplifying Role of Resource Misallocation and Its Threshold Effects

open access: yesFood and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The acceleration of urbanization and its resultant expansion of urban sprawl (US) have significantly reshaped agricultural supply chain resilience (ASCR). In this study, we focused on the effects of US and the induction of imbalances in resource allocation.
