Summary
Abstract: The Global 15x15 Minute Grids of the Downscaled Population Based on the Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) B2 Scenario, 1990 and 2025, are geospatial distributions of the downscaled population per unit area (population densities). These global grids were generated using the Country-level Population and Downscaled Projections Based on the SRES B2 Scenario, 1990-2100 dataset, and CIESIN's ... View entire text

Purpose: To provide a gridded data on country-level population and downscaled projections based on the SRES B2 marker scenarios.
