European and Mediterranean Basin extract of LandScan Global Population Database 2008
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, converted into a population density dataset 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 per grid cell.
No data value: -99

The methodology used consisted in:
a) clipping an area of interest from the original LandScan data ( http://www.ornl.gov/sci/landscan/) in WGS84 lat/lon
b) calculating the corresponding population density in inhabitants per km² (still in WGS84 lat/lon)
c) projecting b) to ETRS89 - Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area 52N10E (epsg:3035) with a resolution of 1km
This methodology is described in the document landscan_paul.pdf.
