Artificial light is present in many aspects of our life. Therefore it has many effects. As chronobiologist, I am mostly interested in ecology and health, but the Loss of the Night Network is my connection to the other areas of light pollution.

Topics and contents of talks, seminars and articles can be chosen according to your needs and interest. Here are some suggestions:

  • Light Pollution
    Consequences of artificial lighting for animals and humans
  • Sustainable Lighting
    Ecology, health and security: concepts for modern lighting concepts
