Ritu Dhingra's current work focuses heavily on the conservation of biodiversity, critically analysing Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) as a transboundary pollutant and ecological trespasser that disrupts the biological cycles, evolutionary behaviours, and circadian rhythms of terrestrial and marine life forms. Expanding her focus beyond traditional urban light pollution, her research investigates how the rapid increase in operational satellite constellations and orbital space debris amplifies sky glow. She examines how this pervasive orbital light pollution acts as an omnipresent global stressor that alters vital biological clocks and phenology across diverse ecosystems. Through her research, she actively advocates for transitioning from voluntary "soft law" guidelines to binding international statutes and a unified Earth-Space Governance model to halt the systemic loss of species, mitigate the rapid recession of our dark sky horizon, and protect the biological integrity of the global night niche.
