Global multi-temporal settlement data - 1 km (GHSL Landsat)
The GHSL Landsat is a spatial raster dataset that is mapping human settlements globally based on the Landsat satellite data collection. The GHSL Landsat uses the Global Land Survey (GLS) collection of Landsat imagery, which is a carefully coordinated collection of high resolution imagery for global modelling and is produced by the Global Land Cover Facility (www.landcover.org). This allows the mapping of settlements back in time until the year 1975. In addition, Landsat GHSL uses recent Landsat-8 from 2013/2014 for the latest coverage.
GHS BUILT-UP GRID
These data contain a multitemporal information layer on built-up presence as derived from Landsat image collections (GLS1975, GLS1990, GLS2000, and ad-hoc Landsat 8 collection 2013/2014).
The data have been produced by means of Global Human Settlement Layer methodology in 2015.
