[GRASSLIST:8891] Re: World Population

[Shaun Walbridge]

Hello Maik,

The two best current sources of global gridded popuation that I'm aware 
of are:

Landscan: http://www.ornl.gov/sci/landscan/
Requires registration, usage restrictions.  Interpolated to 1km globally.

Gridded Population of the World: http://beta.sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/gpw/
This is at the same 2.5 minute resolution Roger mentioned, but is 
updated and has population projections available.

cheers,
