Assessment of Central Sahel Crisis by Nighttime Light Imagery

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
The Central Sahel region is beset by ongoing armed conflicts and confronts a critical humanitarian crisis. Nighttime light data can serve as a valuable, objective source for monitoring conflict crises. In this study, we quantified total nighttime light (TNL) and the change rate of TNL in the Central Sahel region and analyzed the correlation between TNL
