GHSL: Global building height 2018 (P2023A)
This spatial raster dataset depicts the global distribution of building heights at a resolution of 100 m, referred to the year 2018. The input data used to predict building heights are the ALOS Global Digital Surface Model (30 m), the NASA Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission … alos building built built-environment builtup copernicus -
GHSL: Global building volume 1975-2030 (P2023A)
This raster dataset depicts the global distribution of building volume, expressed in cubic metres per 100 m grid cell. The dataset measures the total building volume and the building volume allocated to grid cells of predominant non-residential (NRES) use. Estimates are based on the built-up … alos building built-environment copernicus dem ghsl -
GHSL: Global settlement characteristics (10 m) 2018 (P2023A)
This spatial raster dataset delineates human settlements at 10 m resolution, and describes their inner characteristics in terms of the functional and height-related components of the built environment. More information about the GHSL data products can be found in the GHSL Data Package 2023 report … building built builtup copernicus ghsl height -
