Map Services

Clicking on the map widget to the right will launch an interactive map tool which will allow you to zoom, pan and switch layers.

Here's an example on how to create a WMS layer instance using the Open Source JavaScript library OpenLayers.

var wms = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(
"Population Density",
"https://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/geoserver/wms",
{layers: 'gpw-v3:gpw-v3-population-density_2000'}
);

The possible values for layers can be found in the list below.
  • (1) Centroids, v3 (1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015)

    GPW v3: Centroids gpw-v3:gpw-v3-centroids
  • (1) Coastlines, v3 (2000)

    GPW v3: Coastlines gpw-v3:gpw-v3-coastlines
  • (1) Land and Geographic Unit Area Grids, v3 (1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015)

    GPW v3: Geographic Unit Area gpw-v3:gpw-v3-land-geographic-unit-area
  • (3) Population Count Grid, v3 (1990, 1995, 2000)

    GPW v3: Population Count 1990 gpw-v3:gpw-v3-population-count_1990
    GPW v3: Population Count 1995 gpw-v3:gpw-v3-population-count_1995
    GPW v3: Population Count 2000 gpw-v3:gpw-v3-population-count_2000
