It is known that the US as a whole produces more light per capita on a national basis and some European cities produce much less, but the situation in Ireland has not been examined in detail. The project work will involve using the R shareware package with georeferenced data such as CSO and European shapefiles and databases. https://www.jessesadler.com/post/gis-with-r-intro/

The advent of more extensive and improved ground-based measurements together with quantifiable satellite data has revolutionised the field, and provided data to test improved theoretical models. However, “closing the loop” and finding a detailed connection between these measurements requires knowledge of the “city emission function”, the angular distribution of upwelling radiation with zenith distance. Simplified analytical functions have been superseded by more complex models involving statistical approximation of emission sources and obstructions and inversion techniques now permit the estimation of emission functions from the observed sky brightness measurements. In this paper, we present an efficient GIS-based method to model public lighting using real-world photometric data and ...
