Improving the accuracy of extant gridded population maps using multisource map fusion
GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2022 Population distribution is the most direct indicator used to describe human activities. Grid-based population distribution maps overcome the drawbacks of statistical data and are thus more suitable for integrated analysis with environmental data. However,

Fusion of Multiple Gridded Biomass Datasets for Generating a Global Forest Aboveground Biomass Map
Remote Sensing, 2020 Many advanced satellite estimation methods have been developed, but global forest aboveground biomass (AGB) products remain largely uncertain. In this study, we explored data fusion techniques to generate a global forest AGB map for the 2000s at 0.01 ...

Evaluating the Accuracy of Gridded Population Estimates in Slums: A Case Study in Nigeria and Kenya
Urban Science, 2021 Low- and middle-income country cities face unprecedented urbanization and growth in slums. Gridded population data (e.g., ~100 × 100 m) derived from demographic and spatial data are a promising source of population estimates, but face limitations in ...

Measuring modal accessibility gap using gridded population and network map platform data
Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2023 Few studies have calculated the magnitude of the modal accessibility gap between public and private transportation (MAG) by taking into account both population characteristics and time-varying characteristics.

Antarctic Bedmap data: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) sharing of 60 years of ice bed, surface, and thickness data [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2023 One of the key components of this research has been the mapping of Antarctic bed topography and ice thickness parameters that are crucial for modelling ice flow and hence for predicting future ice loss and the ensuing sea level rise.

Assessing gridded observations for daily precipitation extremes in the Alps with a focus on northwest Italy [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 In this study we compare three gridded observed datasets of daily precipitation (EOBS, MAP and NWIOI) over the Great Alpine Region (GAR) and a subregion in northwest Italy (NWI) in order to better understand the past variability of daily climate extremes
