EEA geospatial data catalogue
Extract of LandScan Global Population Database 2008 over Europe and the Mediterranean Basin
This dataset consists of the LandScan global population database of 2008 (grid in WGS84 with a 30" resolution) clipped to Europe together with the Mediterranean Basin and reprojected to EPSG:3035 (Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area 52N10E / ETRS89) with a spatial resolution of 1km². The methodology applied aimed at minimizing any discrepancy in population counts between the original data and the reprojected data at country level.
Content: (population count * 10000) per grid cell.
