This “cyberseminar” focuses on various gridded population and settlement data products and their suitability for different application areas in population-environment studies. Hosted by the Population and Environment Research Network (PERN) and organized by CIESIN and the POPGRID Data Collaborative, which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
A brief video introduction to data sets Human Built-up and Settlement Extent (HBASE) and Global Man-made Impervious Surface (GMIS) + how to use the mapping tool to visualizing the data. HBASE and GMIS were produced as a result of a collaboration between the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the Department of Geographical Sciences at the University of Maryland, funded through the NASA Land Cover Land Use Change Program.
