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.

Mapping the impact of urbanization on vegetation in Nairobi, the 'green city in the sun’

Michelle Mbuthia , Francis Kiroro, Aayush Malik, Ran Goldblatt 30 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 (APHRC) on the potential to use remotely-sensed geospatial data for impact evaluation. This blog is the third in a series of four in which workshop participants reflect on the uses of remotely-sensed and geospatial data.

Three ways you can start using remote sensing for measuring impact

Aayush Malik, Douglas Glandon, Jane Hammaker, Katherine Quant, Sayak Khatua 20 January 2022 blog  
Remote sensing has the power to transform and complement traditional approaches to impact evaluation. With the emergence of new technologies and the deployment of advanced sensors aboard satellites, there is an increase in the use of satellite imagery to measure impact in low- and middle-income countries across the world.
