... data set and developments in rendering global population data sets at scales that can be used for broad-scale population-environment inquiries. The paper focuses mostly on the GPW and its improvements over the last 10+ years, particularly on increasing spatial resolution improvements.
From page 50...
... The technical specifications of various remote sensing instruments are listed in a table together with descriptions of what the sensors detect. Challenges in applying remote sensing data in the social sciences include difficulties with scale, data integration, interdisciplinary research, and confidentiality.
From page 51...
... The report draws on experiences in African countries and examines how future sources and applications of geographic data could provide reliable support to decision makers as they work toward sustainable development. The committee emphasizes the potential of new technologies, such as satellite remote sensing systems and geographic information systems (GIS)
From page 52...
... Other issues addressed in this paper include classification and the use of ancillary data, spatial autocorrelation, and accuracy assessment of land change models.
