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 …
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 …
This raster dataset depicts the distribution of built-up surfaces, expressed in square metres per 100 m grid cell. The dataset measures: a) the total built-up surface, and b) the built-up surface allocated to grid cells of predominant non-residential (NRES) use. Data are spatially-temporally interpolated or …
This raster dataset depicts the distribution of built-up surfaces, expressed in square metres per 10 m grid cell, for 2018 as observed from the S2 image data. The datasets measure: a) the total built-up surface, and b) the built-up surface allocated to grid cells of …
This dataset contains annual change information of global impervious surface area from 1985 to 2018 at a 30m resolution. Change from pervious to impervious was determined using a combined approach of supervised classification and temporal consistency checking. Impervious pixels are defined as above 50% impervious. …
