For complete metadata see: http: ///downloads/metadata/gpw-v3-population-density-future-estimates.htmlĪVHRR 8KM Classification: The University of Maryland Department of Geography generated this global land cover classification collection in 1998. Citation: Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC), Columbia University (2005). The population count grids contain estimates of the number of persons per grid cell. All of the grids have been adjusted to match United Nations national level population estimates. The population counts that the grids are derived from are extrapolated based on a combination of subnational growth rates from census dates and national growth rates from United Nations statistics. A proportional allocation gridding algorithm, utilizing more than 300,000 national and sub-national administrative units, is used to assign population values to grid cells.

For complete metadata see: http: ///downloads/metadata/grump-v1-population-density.htmlĢ015 Population Density: Gridded Population of the World, Version 3 (GPWv3) Future Estimates consists of estimates of human population for the year 2015 by 2.5 arc-minute grid cells and associated datasets dated circa 2000. Citation: Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC), Columbia University (2011). This dataset is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) in collaboration with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), The World Bank, and Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT). The population count grids are divided by the land area grid to produce population densities. A proportional allocation gridding algorithm, utilizing more than 1,000,000 national and sub-national geographic units, is used to assign population values to grid cells. The population density grids measure population per square km. For complete metadata see http: //2000 Population Density: The Global Rural-Urban Mapping Project, Version 1 (GRUMPv1) consists of estimates of human population for the year 2000 by 30 arc-second (1km) grid. Input data resolution is 15 arc-seconds between 60 N and 60 S latitude (based on SRTM), and 30 arc-seconds for higher latitudes (based on GTOPO30).

Watersheds of North America: This map was created by the FAO-UN by delineating drainage basin boundaries from hydrologically corrected elevation data (HydroSHEDS and Hydro1K). Major Rivers:This map layer contains the major rivers a North America North American States: This map layer has outlines of the area near Moorea, Antarctica, and the outlines of the all the states and provinces of North America combined. North America Countries:This map layer has outlines of the Continents and the outlines of the Countries of North America combined. LTER Domains: This map layer has study regions of all LTER sites outlined in red.Ĭontinents outline: This map layer contains the outlines of continents only. LTER Sites Labels: This map layer has point locations of all LTER sites with three letter site acronyms outlined in white. Layers are listed in the order they appear in the world atlas followed by brief description and citation if needed. Some layers have legends associated with them, so only one of these layers can be displayed at a time. layers higher on the list will be displayed above lower layers). The layers are ordered hierarchically (ie. Click on the empty boxes to make the hidden layers visible. The small box on the left side of each layer title will display an eye symbol if the layer is visible and will be empty if the layer is hidden. To see a list of all the available layers in the PDF, click on the Layers Icon. The file initially opens with several default layers displayed. These instructions are specific to Adobe Acrobat. After the file is downloaded it can be opened in Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop.
