Applications of nighttime light data in international development research

Moussa Bagayoko, Damazo Kadengye, Cynthia Runyenje , Aayush Malik, Ran Goldblatt 31 March 2022 blog  
The increasing availability of remotely-sensed measurements of nighttime light intensity across space and time opens the door to new possibilities to understand how the Earth is changing. These insights can improve decision-making to guide policy, deliver services, and improve governance in near real-time. However, accelerated human modifications of the landscape and human activities are profoundly affecting the processes on the Earth's surface, both locally and globally, creating a variety of challenges for scientists and policymakers in understanding global change and its repercussions.

Machine learning and remote sensing: New evaluation tools, especially to measure land-use

Sylvia Muyingo, Moussa Bagayoko, Aayush Malik, Ran Goldblatt 28 March 2022 blog  
In August 2021, 3ie and New Light Technologies co-led a series of capacity-building workshops with 10 researchers from the African Population and Health Research Center on the potential to use remotely-sensed geospatial data for impact evaluations. This blog is the first in a series of four in which workshop participants reflect on the uses of remotely-sensed and geospatial data.
