Oh, wait, I forgot to say something important... Remember when I said that the satellite pixels cover half a square kilometer? That really limits our ability to understand exactly what it is that is changing. I'm part of a group that will propose a nighttime light satellite with unprecedented sensitivity to #ESA for consideration as their #EarthExplorer 13 mission. It would allow us to understand the nature of these changes far better (e.g. who exactly is responsible for the changes? Are whole areas changing gradually, or are we seeing the impact of specific buildings or parking lots?) So, please cross your fingers for us, and if you would be interested in using such data, please reach out 😃
