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.
