We propose a methodology for defining urban markets based on built-up land-cover classified
from daytime satellite imagery. Compared to markets defined using minimum thresholds...
Over the last few decades, many countries, especially islands in the Caribbean, have been
challenged by the devastating consequences of natural disasters, which pose a...

We combine nighttime lights data, official statistics, and new household survey data
from northern Kenya in order to assess the impact of long-term refugee camps on
host...
Zimbabwe’s economy declined between 2000 and 2009. This study detects the
economic decline in different regions of Zimbabwe using nighttime light imagery from the
Defense...

Previous studies demonstrated that DMSP-OLS stable nighttime light data are useful data source for
delineating urban areas. However, the nighttime light data acquired in...
Satellite-observed night-time light in urban areas has been widely used as an indicator for socioeconomic development and light pollution. Up to present, the diurnal dynamics of...
Flooding is one of the rampant and persistent problems in many of the developing countries. Sustainable and
innovative actions are needed to address the continuously increasing...

Populations of the endangered mountain nyala Tragelaphus buxtoni are significantly threatened by the loss of critical habitat. Population estimates are tentative, and...
Geospatial technology has been done to identify spatially the extents of highly suitable and moderately suitable areas for groundwater demarcation. Several input...
Maps of species distributions or habitat suitability are required for many aspects of environmental research, resource management, and conservation planning. Currently natural...
