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. The aggregated set has the coordinate Reference System: Spherical Mercator (EPSG:3857) and the spatial resolution of 38 m. This data is provided as single GEOTIFF file.

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. 250m of resolution - World Mollweide (EPSG:54009)

A global map of built-up presence derived from backscattered information of Sentinel1 images. Both the GHS BUILT-UP GRID (LDS) as derived from Landsat image collections and the GlobeLand30 (GLC30) were used for training of the Symbolic Machine Learning (SML) classifier. 20m of resolution - Spherical Mercator (EPSG:3857) Dataset name (size): GHS_BUILT_S12016NODSM_GLOBE_R2016A_3857_20 Legend: 0 = no built-up 1 = built-up
