Summary

Abstract: The Global Rural-Urban Mapping Project, Version 1 (GRUMPv1) consists of estimates of human population for the years 1990, 1995, and 2000 by 30 arc-second (1km) grid cells and associated datasets dated circa 2000. National Identifier Grid is derived from the land area grid to create a raster surface where pixels (cells) that cover the same nation or territory have the same value. Note that the ...

Purpose: To permit the summation of population values by country/territory and, in combination with other data layers, the summation of population values by irregular areas represented in the other data layers and country/territory.

Quality The features were digitised from Figure 2 in the paper referenced below. The resulting data were georeferenced and clipped/extended to match the existing Vestfold Hills coastline data.
The data are shown in Map D of the Marine Plain Management Plan. Refer to a link below.
The data has been formatted according to the SCAR Feature Catalogue. Refer to a link below.
The dates given in temporal coverage are approximate only. Only the years are correct. Dates more accurate than year are not known.
