Remote sensing of night light emissions in the visible band offers a unique opportunity to
directly observe human activity from space. This has allowed a host of applications including …

In recent decades, advances in lighting technology have precipitated exponential increases
in night sky brightness worldwide, raising concerns in the scientific community about the …

A central aim of the “lighting revolution”(the transition to solid-state lighting technology) is
decreased energy consumption. This could be undermined by a rebound effect of increased …

Since the late 1990s, remotely sensed night-time lights (NTL) satellite imagery has been
shown to correlate with socioeconomic parameters including urbanization, economic …

The global spread of artificial light is eroding the natural night-time environment. The
estimation of the pattern and rate of growth of light pollution on multi-decadal scales has …

Nighttime light observations from remote sensing provide us with a timely and spatially
explicit measure of human activities, and therefore enable a host of applications such as …

Daily, lunar and seasonal cycles of natural light have been key forms of environmental
variation across the Earth's surface since the first emergence of life. They have driven the …

Ambient sunlight-driven CO2 methanation cannot be realized due to the temperature being
less than 80° C upon irradiation with dispersed solar energy. In this work, a selective light …

The use of artificial lighting to illuminate the night has provided substantial benefits to
humankind. It has also disrupted natural daily, seasonal, and lunar light cycles as …

1. Moths (L epidoptera) are the major nocturnal pollinators of flowers. However, their
importance and contribution to the provision of pollination ecosystem services may have …
