Flood Proportional Economic Loss Risk Deciles (ndh:ndh-flood-proportional-economic-loss-risk-deciles)

Global Flood Proportional Economic Loss Risk Deciles is a 2.5 minute grid of flood hazard economic loss as proportions of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per analytical unit. Estimates of GDP at risk are based on regional economic loss rates derived from historical records of the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT). Loss rates are weighted by the hazard's frequency and distribution. The methodology of Sachs et al. (2003) is followed to determine baseline estimates of GDP per grid cell. To better reflect the confidence surrounding the data and procedures, the range of proportionalities is classified into deciles, 10 class of an approximately equal number of grid cells of increasing risk. This data is intended to provide a spatial surface of the proportional economic impacts of global flood hazard.

Flood Total Economic Loss Risk Deciles (ndh:ndh-flood-total-economic-loss-risk-deciles)

Global Landslide Total Economic Loss Risk Deciles is a 2.5 minute grid of global landslide total economic loss risks. A process of spatially allocating Gross Domestic Product (GDP) based upon the Sachs et al. (2003) methodology is utilized. First the proportional contributions of subnational units to their respective national GDP are determined using sources of various origins. The contribution rates are then applied to published World Bank Development Indicators to determine a GDP value for the subnational unit. Once the national GDP has been spatially stratified into the smallest administrative units available, GDP values for grid cells are derived using Gridded Population of the World, Version 3 (GPWv3) data of population distributions. A per capita contribution value is determined within each subnational unit, and this value is multiplied by the population per grid cell. Once a GDP value has been determined on a per grid cell basis, then the regionally variable loss rate as derived from the historical records of EM-DAT is used to determine the total economic loss risks posed to a grid cell by landslide hazards. The final surface does not present absolute values of total economic loss, but rather a relative decile (1-10 with increasing risk) ranking of grid cells based upon the calculated economic loss risks. This data is intended to provide insight into the relative frequency, distribution, and potential impact of global earthquake hazard events in relation to subnational distributions of GDP.

EPI 2010 Forestry (epi:epi-environmental-performance-index-2010_forestry)

The 2010 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) ranks 163 countries on 25 performance indicators tracked across ten well-established policy categories covering both environmental public health and ecosystem vitality. These indicators provide a gauge at a national government scale of how close countries are to established environmental policy goals. This proximity-to-target methodology facilitates cross-country comparisons as well as analysis of how the global community performs collectively on each particular policy issue. In this dataset scores of 100 are on target and scores of 0 show areas that require improvement. For the Forestry category, if one of the two constituent indicators was missing, we substituted the other value due to the very high correlation between Forest Cover Change and Growing Stock Change. If both indicators were available, then a simple average was calculated.

Global Annual Average PM2.5 Grids from MODIS and MISR Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), v1  2010 (sdei:sdei-global-annual-avg-pm2-5-2001-2010)

Global Annual PM2.5 Grids from MODIS and MISR Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) data sets represent a series of annual average grids (2001-2010) of fine particulate matter (solid particles and liquid droplets) that were derived from MODIS and MISR AOD satellite data. Together the grids provide a continuous surface of concentrations in micrograms per cubic meter of particulate matter of 2.5 micrometers or smaller (PM2.5) for health and environmental research. The satellite AOD retrievals were converted to ground-level concentrations based on a conversion factor developed by researchers at Dalhousie University that accounts for spatial and temporal variations in aerosol properties and vertical structure as derived from a global 3-D chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem). The raster grids have a grid cell resolution of 30 arc-minutes (approximately 1 sq. km at the equator) and cover the world from 70°N to 60°S latitude. The grids were produced by researchers at Battelle Memorial Institute in collaboration with the Center for International Earth Science Information Network/Columbia University under a NASA-ROSES project entitled "Using Satellite Data to Develop Environmental Indicators: An Application of NASA Data Products to Support High Level Decisions for National and International Environmental Protection". Exposure to fine particles is associated with premature death as well as increased morbidity from respiratory and cardiovascular disease, especially in the elderly, young children, and those already suffering from these illnesses. The World Health Organization guideline for PM2.5 average annual exposure is less than or equal to 10.0 micrograms per cubic meter, whereas the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) primary standard is less than or equal to 12.0 micrograms per cubic meter. The EPA primary standards are designed to protect public health with an adequate margin of safety.

Population Density 1990 (gpw-v3:gpw-v3-population-density_1990)

Gridded Population of the World: Future Estimates (GPWFE) consists of estimates of human population for the years 2005, 2010, 2015 by 2.5 arc-minute grid cells. Population density estimates were also created using the GPWv3 land area grid for the year 2000 (also 2.5 arc-minute resolution). The data products include a population grid (raw counts), and a population density grid (per square km). These products vary in GIS-compatible data formats and geographic extents (global, continent [Antarctica not included], and country levels). Spatial reference metadata refers to global extent. 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. Additional global grids are created from the 2.5 arc-minute grid at 1/4, 1/2, and 1 degree resolutions. (Spatial reference metadata refers to global extent, 2.5 arc-minute resoulution). GPWFE is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) in collaboration with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Programme (FAO) and the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT).

Drought Mortality Risks and Distribution (ndh:ndh-drought-mortality-risks-distribution)

Global Drought Mortality Risks and Distribution is a 2.5 minute grid of global drought mortality risks. Gridded Population of the World, Version 3 (GPWv3) data provide a baseline estimation of population per grid cell from which to estimate potential mortality risks due to drought hazard. Mortality loss estimates per hazard event are calculated using regional, hazard-specific mortality records of the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT) that span the 20 years between 1981 and 2000. Data regarding the frequency and distribution of drought hazard are obtained from the Global Drought Hazard Frequency and Distribution dataset. In order to more accurately reflect the confidence associated with the data and procedures, the potential mortality estimate range is classified into deciles, 10 classes of increasing risk with an approximately equal number of grid cells per class, producing a relative estimate of drought-based mortality risks. This data is intended to provide a means of assessing global drought mortality risks and distribution.

Volcano Hazard Frequency and Distribution (ndh:ndh-volcano-hazard-frequency-distribution)

Global Volcano Hazard Frequency and Distribution is a 2.5 minute gridded data set based upon the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) Volcano Database spanning the period of 1979 through 2000. This database includes nearly 4,000 volcanic events categorized as moderate or above (values 2 through 8) according to the Volcano Explosivity Index (VEI). Most volcanoes are georeferenced to the nearest tenth or hundredth of a degree with a few to the nearest thousandth of a degree. To produce the final output, the frequency of a volcanic hazard is computed for each grid cell, with the data set consequently being classified into deciles (10 classes of approximately equal number of grid cells). The higher the grid cell value in the final output, the higher the relative frequency of hazard posed by volcanoes. This data is intended to provide a means of assessing the relative distribution and frequency of global volcano hazard.

Cyclone Total Economic Loss Risk Deciles (ndh:ndh-cyclone-total-economic-loss-risk-deciles)

Global Cyclone Total Economic Loss Risk Deciles is a 2.5 minute grid of global cyclone total economic loss risks. A process of spatially allocating Gross Domestic Product (GDP) based upon the Sachs et al. (2003) methodology is utilized. First the proportional contributions of subnational units to their respective national GDP are determined using sources of various origins. The contribution rates are then applied to published World Bank Development Indicators to determine a GDP value for the subnational unit. Once the national GDP is spatially stratified into the smallest administrative units available, GDP values for grid cells are derived using population distribution data. A per capita contribution value is determined within each subnational unit, and this value is multiplied by the population per grid cell as determined from Gridded Population of the World, Version 3 (GPWv3) data. Once a GDP value is determined on a per grid cell basis, then the regionally variable loss rate, as derived from the historical records of EM-DAT, is used to determine the total economic loss risks posed to a grid cell by cyclone hazards. The final surface does not present absolute values of total economic loss, but rather a relative decile (1-10 with increasing risk) ranking of grid cells based upon the calculated economic loss risks. This data is intended to provide insight into the relative frequency, distribution, and potential impact of global cyclone hazard events in relation to subnational distributions of GDP.

Environmental Sustainability Index 2005 (esi:esi-environmental-sustainability-index-2005)

The 2005 Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI) is a measure of overall progress towards environmental sustainability, developed for 146 countries. The index provides a composite profile of national environmental stewardship based on a compilation of 21 indicators derived from 76 underlying datasets. The 2005 version of the ESI represents a significant update and improvement on earlier versions; the country ESI scores or rankings should not be compared to earlier versions because of changes to the methodology and underlying data. The index was unveiled at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting, January 2005, Davos, Switzerland. The 2005 ESI is a joint product of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy (YCELP) and the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN), in collaboration with the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the Joint Research Centre (JRC), European Commission.

Last of the Wild Version 2 (wildareas-v2:wildareas-v2-last-of-the-wild-geographic)

This map depicts the 825 terrestrial ecoregions of the globe. Ecoregions are relatively large units of land containing distinct assemblages of natural communities and species, with boundaries that approximate the original extent of natural communities prior to major land-use change. This comprehensive, global map provides a useful framework for conducting biogeographical or macroecological research, for identifying areas of outstanding biodiversity and conservation priority, for assessing the representation and gaps in conservation efforts worldwide, and for communicating the global distribution of natural communities on earth. We have based ecoregion delineations on hundreds of previous biogeographical studies, and refined and synthesized existing information in regional workshops over 10 years to assemble the global dataset. Ecoregions are nested within two higher-order classifications: biomes (14) and biogeographic realms (8). Together, these nested classification levels provide a framework for comparison among units and the identification of representative habitats and species assemblages.

EPI 2010 Air Pollution Effects on Ecosystems (epi:epi-environmental-performance-index-2010_air-pollution-effects-on-ecosystems)

The 2010 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) ranks 163 countries on 25 performance indicators tracked across ten well-established policy categories covering both environmental public health and ecosystem vitality. These indicators provide a gauge at a national government scale of how close countries are to established environmental policy goals. This proximity-to-target methodology facilitates cross-country comparisons as well as analysis of how the global community performs collectively on each particular policy issue. In this dataset scores of 100 are on target and scores of 0 show areas that require improvement. For the Air Pollution (effects on ecosystems) category, we had data on ozone exceedences for all countries, and we required that there be data for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) because of its multiple environmental impacts. If data for any of the other air pollutants was missing, we averaged around them.

Drought Total Economic Loss Risk Deciles (ndh:ndh-drought-total-economic-loss-risk-deciles)

Global Drought Total Economic Loss Risk Deciles is a 2.5 minute grid of global drought total economic loss risks. A process of spatially allocating Gross Domestic Product (GDP) based upon the Sachs et al. (2003) methodology is utilized. First the proportional contributions of subnational units to their respective national GDP are determined using sources of various origins. The contribution rates are then applied to published World Bank Development Indicators to determine a GDP value for the subnational unit. Once the national GDP is spatially stratified into the smallest administrative units available, GDP values for grid cells are derived using Gridded Population of the World, Version 3 (GPWv3) data of population distributions. A per capita contribution value is determined within each subnational unit, and this value is multiplied by the population per grid cell. Once a GDP value has been determined on a per grid cell basis, then the regionally variable loss rate as derived from the historical records of EM-DAT is used to determine the total economic loss risks posed to a grid cell by drought hazards. The final surface does not present absolute values of total economic loss, but rather a relative decile (1-10 with increasing risk) ranking of grid cells based upon the calculated economic loss risks. This data is intended to provide insight into the relative frequency, distribution, and potential impact of global drought hazard events in relation to subnational distributions of GDP.

Landslide Mortality Risks and Distribution (ndh:ndh-landslide-mortality-risks-distribution)

Global Landslide Mortality Risks and Distribution is a 2.5 minute grid of global landslide mortality risks. Gridded Population of the World, Version 3 (GPWv3) data provide a baseline estimation of population per grid cell from which to estimate potential mortality risks due to landslide hazard. Mortality loss estimates per hazard event are calculated using regional, hazard-specific mortality records of the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT) that span the 20 years between 1981 and 2000. Data regarding the frequency and distribution of landslide hazard are obtained from the Global Landslide Hazard Distribution dataset. In order to more accurately reflect the confidence associated with the data and procedures, the potential mortality estimate range is classified into deciles, 10 classes of increasing risk with an approximately equal number of grid cells per class, producing a relative estimate of landslide-based mortality risks. This data is intended to provide a means of assessing global landslide mortality risks and distribution.

U.S. Census Grids (Summary File 3), 2000 Percent of Housing Units Built Bewteen 1990 and 2000 U.S. Census Grids (Summary File 3), 2000 contain grids of demographic and socioeconomic data from the year 2000 U.S. census in ASCII and geotiff formats. The grids have a resolution of 30 arc-seconds (0.0083 decimal degrees), or approximately 1 square km. The gridded variables are based on census block geography from Census 2000 TIGER/Line Files and census variables (population, households, and housing variables). This dataset is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).

Population Count Future Estimates 2005 (gpw-v3:gpw-v3-population-count-future-estimates_2005)

Gridded Population of the World: Future Estimates (GPWFE) consists of estimates of human population for the years 2005, 2010, 2015 by 2.5 arc-minute grid cells.The data products include a population grid (raw counts). These products vary in GIS-compatible data formats and geographic extents (global, continent [Antarctica not included], and country levels). Spatial reference metadata refers to global extent. 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. Additional global grids are created from the 2.5 arc-minute grid at 1/4, 1/2, and 1 degree resolutions. (Spatial reference metadata refers to global extent, 2.5 arc-minute resoulution). GPWFE is produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) in collaboration with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Programme (FAO) and the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT).

EPI 2010 Water Effects on Ecosystems (epi:epi-environmental-performance-index-2010_water-effects-on-ecosystems)

The 2010 Environmental Performance Index (EPI) ranks 163 countries on 25 performance indicators tracked across ten well-established policy categories covering both environmental public health and ecosystem vitality. These indicators provide a gauge at a national government scale of how close countries are to established environmental policy goals. This proximity-to-target methodology facilitates cross-country comparisons as well as analysis of how the global community performs collectively on each particular policy issue. In this dataset scores of 100 are on target and scores of 0 show areas that require improvement. For the Water (effects on ecosystems) category, we had complete country coverage for the Water Quality Index (WQI) owing to data imputation. No Water Quality Index was reported for several countries that had surface water areas of less than 10 square kilometers, so for these countries we averaged around WQI. The Water Stress Index (WATSTR) was available for all but the smallest countries, in terms of geographic area, owing to the grid cell size of the original data source. Either WATSTR or the Water Scarcity Index (WSI) wasrequired in order to calculate the policy category score; if both were present we averaged them, and if one indicator was missing we averaged around it.
