Can Night-Time Light Data Identify Typologies of Urbanization? A Global Assessment of Successes and Failures

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2013
The world is rapidly urbanizing, but there is no single urbanization process. Rather, urban areas in different regions of the world are undergoing myriad types of transformation processes.

The Declining Trend of Arctic Sea‐Ice Extent (1979–2025): Segmented by Abrupt Change Points

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Arctic sea‐ice extent (SIE), a high‐accuracy observable, is a key indicator for assessing sea‐ice state and its physical evolution. Extreme SIE losses thus often spark debates over potential Arctic tipping behavior and nonlinear threshold responses.

Carbon Emissions From Different Functional Zones of Construction Land in the Yellow River Basin Based on Nighttime Light Data and POI Data

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10387-10404, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Yellow River Basin is a critical region for ecological conservation and sustainable development in China. It also serves as a core area for carbon emissions across various functional zones of construction land. Accurately understanding carbon emissions from various types of construction land in the Yellow River Basin is crucial for China ...

Landscape Fragmentation Driven by Land Use Change Dominates the Spatiotemporal Heterogeneity of Non‐Point Source Pollution Loads in Human‐Intensive Basins: A Case Study of the Dongjiang River Basin, China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10440-10463, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Landscape fragmentation may influence the spatial distribution and temporal variation of non‐point source (NPS) pollution by altering hydrological processes, pollutant transport pathways, and ecosystem service functions. However, under the combined effects of natural factors (e.g., precipitation, topography) and anthropogenic factors (e.g ...

Does digital surveillance boost citizen compliance? Evidence from China

open access: yesPolitical Psychology, Volume 47, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Authoritarian regimes increasingly deploy digital surveillance to monitor citizens, but how this affects citizen compliance remains understudied. We argue that, beyond repressing or deterring regime opponents, digital surveillance serves as an instrument of everyday governance that operates through psychological mechanisms rather than direct ...

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.
