Anthropogenic and natural factors are associated with bird dawn chorus onset in subtropical East Asia

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 ...

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.

Russia's Wartime Economy: Measuring Regional Inequalities From Outer Space

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study Russia's February 2022 full‐scale invasion of Ukraine as a natural experiment to determine how sudden disruptions to international market access reshape sub‐national economic inequalities. Using remotely‐sensed nighttime lights as a proxy for economic activity, we estimate the economic effects of the war at the national and regional ...

Europe, We Have a Problem! Local Economic Winners and Losers of Border Closures

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to COVID‐19, Schengen countries temporarily reintroduced internal border controls, disrupting cross‐border integration. Using this policy change as a natural experiment and monthly nighttime lights data, we estimate the short‐run effects on European municipalities.

Drivers of 2024 Record Low Sea Ice in Eastern Hudson Bay: A Satellite Era Perspective

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.
Abstract By late May 2024, Hudson Bay (HB) reached record‐low sea ice extent (SIE) and sea ice concentration (SIC), which has been attributed to the persistent easterly winds in May 2024. This study further investigates the role of easterly winds as well as broader contributing factors.
