Ancillary Data, v1 (1998 – 2007) Indicators of Coastal Water Quality Overview Download To provide data that can assist in the extraction and analysis of chlorophyll-a concentration and trends from global grids.		Annual Chlorophyll-a Concentration, v1 (1998 – 2007) Indicators of Coastal Water Quality Overview Download To provide a gridded version of existing SeaWiFS data in GIS-compatible formats in order to determine concentrations of chlorophyll-a in the coastal water column and to facilitate the integration with other data.

Mapping Population and Geographic Data The New Security Beat In this blog for the Center Environmental and Security Program (ECSP), CIESIN deputy director Marc Levy talks with ECSP director Geoff Dabelko about using the Gridded Population of the World (GPW) data product to aid in combining population and geographic data.		Another Way to Look at an Air Quality Problem State of the Planet Satellite data offer a particularly valuable perspective on PM2—small particles deriving mostly from burning fossil fuels and biomass, which can harm human health—because ground instruments may be unavailable or offer limited information, as is the case in China. With that in mind, researchers at Columbia University’s Earth Institute and Batelle Memorial Institute have developed maps based on satellite data that depict annual PM2.5 exposure in all of China’s provinces.
