Transboundary River Basins: Status and Trends

United Nations Environment Programme

For a new report assessing the environmental and socioeconomic conditions in 286 of the world’s transboundary river basins, SEDAC data were used in the calculation of several indicators: economic dependence on water resources, societal wellbeing levels, and the risk of climate-related hazards. The report is an outcome of the Transboundary Waters Assessment Programme, coordinated by the UNEP-DHI (Danish Hydrological Institute) Center on Waste and Environment in execution with international partners, for the Global Environmental Facility, with the aim of creating a baseline assessment of all transboundary water resources on Earth.

Closed Season

Sensing Our Planet

Using data from the NASA Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite instrument and the Advanced Land Observing Satellite Phased Array type L-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (ALOS PALSAR) to study land subsidence, and SEDAC’s Gridded Population of the World (GPW), v3 to examine the distribution of people, investigators assessed the loss of groundwater storage in one of Mexico's most important watersheds.
