A Fifteen Year Record of Global Natural Gas Flaring Derived from Satellite Data
We have produced annual estimates of national and global gas flaring and gas flaring efficiency from 1994 through 2008 using low light imaging data acquired by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). Gas flaring is a widely used practice for

The Value of Luminosity Data as a Proxy for Economic Statistics [PDF]
One of the pervasive issues in social and environmental research has been to improve the quality of socioeconomic data in developing countries. Because of the shortcoming of standard data sources, the present study examines luminosity (measures of ...

Artificial Light Increases Local Predator Abundance, Predation Rates, and Herbivory. [PDF]
Human activity is rapidly increasing the radiance and geographic extent of artificial light at night (ALAN) leading to alterations in the development, behavior, and physiological state of many organisms.

Urban Settlement: Data, Measures, and Trends [PDF]
This paper examines data on urbanization. We review the most commonly used data sources, and highlight the difficulties inherent in defining and measuring the size of urban versus rural populations.
