B. Espey: how to accurately measure light pollution. Notes that 90-99 degree light emission is the part that causes the worst skyglow/light pollution.
Notes that cities have overall orientations for their streets (ex: https://geoffboeing.com/2018/07/city-street-orientations-world/), so light pollution will be directional - worse in some directions than others
Focusing on towns in Ireland, notes small towns often have bigger effect due to wide streets, low buildings. Lots of modelling details.
