An introduction to and analysis of a selection of satellite-derived air quality data sets at both global and US scales, from the NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC). Data sets include GPWv4, Social Vulnerability Grids, and the Global Relative Deprivation Index. Part of NASA′s Earthdata Webinar Series.
Part One of a two-part training by NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training Program (ARSET), “Introduction to Population Grids and their Integration with Remote Sensing Data for Sustainable Development and Disaster Management,” held March 30 and April 6, 2021. It was organized by CIESIN research scientist Susana Adamo on behalf of NASA’s Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) and the POPGRID Data Collaborative. Part One,“Introduction to Population Grids and Their Uses,” introduces the POPGRID Data Collaborative, the origins of gridding, and its evolution to present day application areas in health, humanitarianism, development, and disaster risk reduction. 90-minute recording, Q and A transcript, and presentation slides are available.
