Bundaberg, QLD visualizes light pollution data as part of Reducing Urban Glow project

Bundaberg, QLD Reducing Urban Glow Light Pollution Data

The council worked with national, state, and private sector partners to install 75 light sensors. Each sensor measures ambient light brightness and cloud cover. Data from eastern Bundaberg and coastal communities result in brightness heat maps updated every 15 minutes. The Reducing Urban Glow website includes a time-lapsed book of recent heat maps for context. Bundaberg created the project to reduce artificial light use that endangers local sea turtle nests.
