My name is Stefan Wallner, I am an astronomer and currently working at the Department of Astrophysics, University of Vienna (Austria) and the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava (Slovak Republic). My research field is the topic of light pollution, skyglow and its atmospherical effects.
While writing my master's thesis I recognised the importance of dark skies for the first time and since then I dedicated myself to spread the word. It is very important to me that everybody should be aware of the danger light pollution causes not only for plants, animals or the environment but especially for us humans also.
- more than 5 public lectures on the topic of light pollution and dark skies
- more than 150 planetarium shows for schools in which the importance of dark skies was highlighted in the shows
- member of the scientific organisation of the Upper Austrian environmental congress 2018 in Linz which was dedicated to the creation of good outdoor lighting and protection of dark skies
- at the moment working on the creation of Austria's first official certified IDA Dark Sky Places (scientific measurements and data analysis of light pollution monitoring network and allsky images)
- part of IAU's e-Light Pollution photo-exhibition within the XXX IAU General Assembly 2018
