High-quality nighttime light dataset

We corrected the mismatch error and the angular effect of Black Marbel Nighttime Light Dataset. A high-quality daily nighttime data is generated which has a much improved performance of reflecting rapid human activities.

Flood impact assessment

Flooding is affecting human daily activities. We made the first attempt to detect such impacts using high-quality nighttime light dataset on global scale.

Multiple hazards impact assessment

We are encountering multiple hazards that impact society in different ways and degrees. By combining nighttime light data, it's possible to assess the hazards' impacts on human society.
