This population layer provides baseline GPWv4 population values which are replaced with worldPop data where available.  All values are adjusted to UN population figures where possible.  Please consult the excel file included in this download for more detailed information on the data by country.

This is the recommended 1km baseline population layer for the PLE-Blu project.  It is available to everyone who registes on the PALEBlu website.  See the home page for information on how to do this.

The dataset has been clipped to the PALE-Blu Mask area of Europe and Northern Africa and projected in lat/long WGS84 at a scale of 0.008333 degrees or ~1km.
