Journal: IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has persisted for over a year, posing challenges in assessing and verifying the extent of damage through on-site investigations. Nighttime light (NTL) remote sensing, an emerging approach for studying regional conflicts, can complement traditional methods. This study employs NASA's Black Marble products to reveal the response characteristics of NTL intensity at national and state scales during the first anniversary of the conflict (January 2022 to February 2023) in Uk
