Earth's Glow Flickers: Satellites Reveal Nighttime Light's Turbulent Pulse
New satellite data reveals nighttime light flickers, showing dimming in areas like Ukraine and Syria during conflicts. This changes how we see global events.

Nighttime light in conflict zones like Ukraine has dimmed significantly, showing a clear impact from the ongoing Russian invasion. This is a new way to see global events.

This is an interesting new #OpenAccess paper looking at the intersection of energy, development, neighborhood race and class in #SouthAfrica.
They find that #Solar panel installation is by far more common in wealthy and especially white neighborhoods, and that the drop in #NighttimeLight radiance observed from #VIIRS_DNB is lowest in these neighborhoods.
They suggest that solar adoption may reduce the impact of #LoadShedding (i.e. #RollingBlackouts).
I see a few issues with their methodology, but it's nevertheless so interesting to see all these aspects combined with day and nighttime #RemoteSensing.
