Dynamic threats of nighttime light-represented human activities to giant pandas and their habitat
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Human activities are one of the main factors threatening the long-term survival of wild giant pandas. Long-term and large-scale human activities can be quickly assessed by night light remote sensing data, which has been more and more widely used. In this

Urban Nighttime Leisure Space Mapping with Nighttime Light Images and POI Data [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2020 Urban nighttime leisure spaces (UNLSs), important urban sites of nighttime economic activity, have created enormous economic and social benefits. Both the physical features (e.g., location, shape, and area) and the social functions (e.g., commercial streets, office buildings, and entertainment venues) of UNLSs are important in UNLS mapping.

Estimating Local Inequality from Nighttime Lights [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 Economic inequality at the local level has been shown to be an important predictor of people’s political perceptions and preferences. However, research on these questions is hampered by the fact that local inequality is difficult to measure and systematic data collections are rare, in particular in countries of the Global South.

Dynamics and spatial distribution of global nighttime lights [PDF]
EPJ Data Science, 2013 Using open source data, we observe the fascinating dynamics of nighttime light. Following a global economic regime shift, the planetary center of light can be seen moving eastwards at a pace of about 60 km per year. Introducing spatial light Gini coefficients, we find a universal pattern of human settlements across different countries and see a global ...
