For NASA SEDAC, the selected intern will work with VIIRS satellite data from NOAA and NASA on nighttime lights, and global data on population and economic status to contribute to the production of VIIRS-derived poverty layer that combines the night-lights data with population data to identify areas that are under-lit.

We also asked patients ten questions derived from Oxford University's Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), which is an international measure of poverty relevant to 109 resource-poor countries [ 21].
