SoilGridsTM (hereafter SoilGrids) is a system for global digital soil mapping that uses state-of-the-art machine learning methods to map the spatial distribution of soil properties across the globe. SoilGrids prediction models are fitted using over 230 000 soil profile observations from the WoSIS da ...

[last updated in 2017]Knowledge of soil properties such as organic carbon content, clay content and pH is vital for agriculture and climate change analysis in Africa. ISRIC has launched a new type of freely accessible soil property maps for Africa. The maps contain predictions of seven soil properti ...

ISRIC—World Soil Information is compiling legacy soil profile data for Sub-Saharan Africa, as a project activity of the Globally integrated-Africa Soil Information Service (AfSIS) project; SEE LINK BELOW from ISRIC.

The representation of land surface processes in hydrological and climatic models critically depends on the soil water characteristics curve (SWCC) that defines the plant availability and water storage in the vadose zone. Despite the availability of SWCC datasets in the literature, significant effort ...

Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS) is a 30+ year quasi-global rainfall dataset. Spanning 50°S-50°N (and all longitudes), starting in 1981 to near-present, CHIRPS incorporates 0.05° resolution satellite imagery with in-situ station data to create gridded rainfall ...

Land Use Harmonization

The limits of aquifer-bearing sedimentary basins have been determined from a global compilation by Penwell [1]. In addition, public datasets on the depth of the basement–sediment interface [2][3] have been used to construct sediment thickness. The sediment thickness dataset is combined with limits o ...

GLDAS datasets are available from the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC)

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) was flown aboard the space shuttle Endeavour February 11-22, 2000. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) participated in an international project to acquire radar data which were used ...

Global Digital Elevation Model (ASTGTM) was developed jointly by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI). ASTER is capable of collecting in-track stereo using nadir- and aft-looking near infrared cameras.

Accurate knowledge on existing and planned resources are vital for strategic planning and development. The non-availability of reliable and updated energy information poses a major constraint for policy makers, investors and project developers in the ECOWAS energy sector. For investors and other sta ...

International Energy Statistic (U.S Energy Information Administration). Yearly time series. Some time series are monthly. 

High spatial resolution, contemporary data on human population distributions are a prerequisite for the accurate measurement of the impacts of population growth, for monitoring changes and for planning interventions. The WorldPop project aims to meet these needs through the provision of detailed and ...
