LandScan Global Population Database 2008 adjusted to the LEAC grid

This dataset consists of the LandScan global population database of 2008 (grid in WGS84 with a 30" resolution) clipped to Europe and processed in order to match a LEAC grid (projection EPSG 3035 with a spatial resolution of 1km²).

Content: population count per grid cell.

Explanation: See the referenced specification

Statement: The methodology used to project the LandScan data ( http://www.ornl.gov/sci/landscan/) onto the LEAC grid is described in the document lineage_landscan_to_leac_grid_part1.pdf. At that stage, these data are stored into a MsAccess database.

The conversion from a MsAccess database to a GeoTIFF raster file is described in the document lineage_landscan_to_leac_grid_part2.pdf.
