PERN Webinar: Population, Climate Change, and Food Security

Title Slide for PERN Webinar: Population, Climate Change, and Food Security

This PERN Webinar kicked off the cyberseminar May 18–25, focusing on analysis of the population-climate change-food security nexus using methodological tools and concepts in demography, geography, economics, systems analysis, and other related fields. It was hosted by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and organized by IIASA, University of Minnesota, CUNY Baruch, CIESIN-Columbia University, Environmental Science for Social Change), Population Council and Asian Population Research Center, and Escola Nacional de Ciências Estatísticas-ENCE.

Research Applications of SEDAC Data

Research Applications of SEDAC Data

This presentation by SEDAC deputy manager Alex de Sherbinin describes research he has conducted either using SEDAC data or to develop SEDAC-disseminated data sets. The lecture was given to the Pennsylvania State University Department of Geography coffee hour in February 2020.

NASA EarthData Webinar—Gridded Population and Settlement Data for Human Dimensions Research

Webinar: People and Pixels Revisited

Cover of the book People and Pixels

This cyberseminar held February 20–27, 2018, looked at key future directions for the integration of remote sensing into social science research, building on the groundbreaking “People and Pixels” volume produced by the National Research Council in 1998. It was organized by the Population-Environment Research Network (PERN), which is hosted by SEDAC and sponsored by the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population  and Future Earth.  

Video: What′s New in GPWv4

Thumbnail image of the video

This brief video is an introduction to the most recent update to the NASA SEDAC flagship gridded data product, Gridded Population of the World (GPW), which models the global distribution of human population on a continuous surface. New features of GPWv4 include more recent census data; a smaller grid size; and many more input census units.

 

Webinar: Rapid Assessment of Hazards—NASA SEDAC Hazard Mapper

Tornado Damage in Moore, OK

A simple, online tool for estimating the population living in proximity to hazardous events as well as human settlements and major facilities such as dams and nuclear power plants. The Hazards Mapper displays near-real-time data on earthquakes, fires, air quality, and, for the U.S., flood and tornado warnings. Part of the monthly NASA Earthdata Webinar Series that highlights NASA EOSDIS data products and data access tools.
