The group harnesses machine learning to comb through large datasets of satellite imagery and find spills that might previously have gone undetected. To understand that, scientists need satellite images to show how light spreads from coastal megacities, as well as complex models that can calculate how light penetrates the ocean, said Tim Smyth, a marine biogeochemistry specialist at Britain’s Plymouth Marine Laboratory.
The effects are profound, from disrupting feeding by fish and seabirds, to interfering with coral spawning and the nightly migrations of phytoplankton up and down the water column.Switching off unnecessary illuminations such as billboards and redesigning lights to reduce “spillage” into the sky will bring down costs and carbon emissions while benefitting wildlife on land and in the sea, he explained.
