Geospatial Application of Gridded Population and Settlement Products in Population-Environment Research - Cyberseminar and Webinar
Monday, October 14, 2019 (All day) to Friday, October 18, 2019 (All day)
Online
Population-Environment Research Network (PERN) is holding a cyberseminar on "Geospatial Application of Gridded Population and Settlement Products in Population-Environment Research" from 14-18 October. This cyberseminar will focus on the fitness-for-use aspect of various gridded population and settlement products and their suitability for different application areas in population-environment studies. We will explore issues of uncertainty, endogeneity, temporal-explicitness, and spatial conformity in these data products along with scale and projection considerations. The seminar also provides examples of applications of gridded population and settlement products in population-environment research. The cyberseminar provides a platform for dynamic engagement between producer and end-user research communities to push forward the conversation on understanding the continued method development and advancement for integrating these products into the nexus of population-environment-climate studies.
