• Disruption of marine habitats by artificial light at night from global coastal megacities 

      Smyth, T.J.; Wright, A.E.; Edwards-Jones, A.; Mckee, David; Queirós, A.; Rendon, O.; Tidau, S.; Davies, T.W. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-01)
      Half of globally significant megacities are situated near the coast, exposing urban marine ecosystems to multiple stressors such as waste-water discharge containing a host of organic and inorganic pollutants, air and noise pollution. In addition to these well recognized sources, artificial light at night (ALAN) pollution is inseparable from cities but poorly quantified in marine ecosystems to date. ...
    • A global atlas of artificial light at night under the sea 

      Smyth, T.J.; Wright, A.E.; Mckee, David; Tidau, S.; Tamir, R.; Dubinsky, Z.; Iluz, D.; Davies, T.W. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-13)
      The impacts of artificial light at night (ALAN) on marine ecosystems have emerged as a focus for ecological light pollution research in recent years, yet the global prevalence of ALAN in underwater marine ecosystems is unknown. We have derived a global atlas of ALAN throughout the marine water column that will accelerate our understanding of its sources and environmental impacts. At a depth of 1 m, ...
