Determining global population distribution: methods, applications and data.
Deborah Balk,Uwe Deichmann,Gregory Yetman,Francesca Pozzi,Francesca Pozzi,Simon I. Hay,Simon I. Hay,Andrew Nelson +7 more
TL;DR: The basic methods for constructing estimates of global population distribution with attention to recent advances in improving both spatial and temporal resolution are described.
The Distribution of People and the Dimension of Place: Methodologies to Improve the Global Estimation of Urban Extents
TL;DR: In this article, a suite of global datasets on urban population and extents is presented, combining census and satellite data and methods of analysis, in an integrated geospatial framework, allowing for inquiry into analysis urban issues and population by environmental and other ecological characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Montgomery,Andrew Nelson,Abdisalan M. Noor,Deepa Pindolia,Deepa Pindolia,Gregory Yetman,Deborah Balk +18 more
TL;DR: This paper discusses the deficiencies of existing spatial population datasets and their limitations on epidemiological analyses, and reviews sources of detailed, contemporary, freely available and relevant spatial demographic data focusing on low income regions, to highlight the value of incorporating these through a set of examples of their application in disease studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Migration and risk: net migration in marginal ecosystems and hazardous areas
Alex de Sherbinin,Marc A. Levy,Susana B. Adamo,Kytt MacManus,Gregory Yetman,Valentina Mara,Liana Razafindrazay,Benjamin K. Goodrich,Tanja Srebotnjak,Cody Aichele,Linda Pistolesi +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify sensitive ecosystems and regions at high risk of climate hazards that have seen high levels of net inmigration and out-migration over the time period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gridded Population Maps Informed by Different Built Settlement Products.
Fennis J. Reed,Andrea E. Gaughan,Forrest R. Stevens,Gregory Yetman,Alessandro Sorichetta,Andrew J. Tatem +5 more
TL;DR: This study presents the effectiveness of three different high-resolution built area datasets for producing gridded population estimates through the dasymetric disaggregation of census counts in Haiti, Malawi, Madagascar, Nepal, Rwanda, and Thailand.
