Let there be Skyglow—light pollution from a large outdoor music festival (Lollapalooza Berlin 2016) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsLive music is often linked to elaborate light shows, particularly at large outdoor music festivals. However, artificial light at night is one form of environmental pollution, light pollution, and because outdoor festivals emit a substantial amount of ...

A standard format for measurements of skyglow [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2012 AbstractA standard format for recording skyglow measurements is needed to allow for effective data exchange. A proposal for such a format was discussed at the IAU Symposium.

Calibrating Nighttime Satellite Imagery with Red Photometer Networks
Remote Sensing, 2023 The data retrieved from satellite imagery and ground-based photometers are the two main sources of information on light pollution and are thus the two main tools for tackling the problem of artificial light pollution at night (ALAN). While satellite data

Historical Exposure to Artificial Light at Night Shapes <i>Daphnia</i> Responses: An Experiment Across an Urban-Rural Gradient. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACT Artificial light at night (ALAN) is an increasingly pervasive environmental stressor, yet its long‐term impacts on organisms are poorly understood. We used Daphnia pulicaria to investigate how historical exposure to ALAN influences life‐history and morphological responses when exposed to ALAN under laboratory conditions. The experiment spanned

Effects of Low-Level Artificial Light at Night on Kentucky Bluegrass and an Introduced Herbivore
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Increasing evidence suggests that artificial light at night (ALAN) can negatively impact organisms. However, most studies examine the impacts of ALAN on a single species or under high levels of artificial light that are infrequent or unrealistic in urban
