A Test of the New VIIRS Lights Data Set: Population and Economic Output in Africa
Remote Sensing, 2015 The present study analyses the new Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) lights data to determine whether it can provide more accurate proxies for socioeconomic data in areas with poor quality data than proxies based on stable lights.

Ice Surface Temperature Retrieval from a Single Satellite Imager Band
Remote Sensing, 2018 Current methods for estimating the surface temperature of sea and lake ice—the ice surface temperature (IST)—utilize two satellite imager thermal bands (11 and 12 μm) at moderate spatial resolution.

Satellite‐Based Fishing Fleet Tracking: A New Foundation for Fisheries Science and Management
Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Satellite‐based vessel‐tracking technologies have ushered in a new era for monitoring fishing activity at scale. By combining artificial intelligence (AI) methods with remotely‐sensed data, researchers can now detect, classify and analyse fishing behaviour across vast and previously unobservable ocean regions.

Ibis, EarlyView.Anthropogenic factors such as artificial lighting at night (ALAN) and natural factors including temperature and moonlight can affect the dawn chorus pattern in birds. However, most studies are conducted in temperate regions. We investigated the effect of anthropogenic and natural factors on dawn chorus timing in eight species of bird across Hong Kong ...

Subnational Border Reforms and Economic Activity in Africa
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using GIS methods, we identify territories in Africa affected by subnational border reforms between 1992 and 2013. Descriptive statistics reveal that these territories differed from other African regions across several key dimensions. For example, these territories were more populous and exhibited greater ethnic diversity.

Sea and Freshwater Ice Concentration from VIIRS on Suomi NPP and the Future JPSS Satellites
Remote Sensing, 2016 Information on ice is important for shipping, weather forecasting, and climate monitoring. Historically, ice cover has been detected and ice concentration has been measured using relatively low-resolution space-based passive microwave data.
