“I have always wanted to find ways to use my skills in the geospatial world to help contribute to making a positive impact on the environment and/or for others’ livelihoods. Being an Earth Science Review Board member would give me an opportunity to put my GIS analysis and environmental science knowledge to work, helping to improve our world”

Nighttime Lights electrification decade use case

A Global Stocktake on Electricity Access and Gaps From NASA Black Marble Nighttime Lights

Using corrected nighttime lights from NASA’s Black Marble, researchers mapped a decade of global electrification to show worldwide changes over time. The data reveals areas where access to electricity is growing, where gaps persist, and how satellite data can guide the support of communities in need.
