Nature Abstract:

As communities around the world grapple with the devastating effects of COVID-19, the importance of timely, disaggregated, and accurate data has never been clearer. It is vital that we understand where populations are located, the available infrastructure, and their access to critical services to ensure that everyone can understand their risk and take appropriate action. From new platforms, analysis, and available datasets, read more on how participants in the POPGRID Data Collaborative are helping to fight this pandemic.

POPGRID released a new open access journal article in the journal Earth System Science Data entitled "The spatial allocation of population: a review of large-scale gridded population data products and their fitness for use.”
