Latin America and Caribbean Population Distribution Database from UNEP/GRID-Sioux Falls
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The Latin America population database is part of an ongoing effort to improve global, spatially referenced demographic data holdings.
Description
Such databases are useful for a variety of applications including strategic-level agricultural research and applications in the analysis of the human dimensions of global change. This documentation describes the Latin American Population Database, a collaborative effort between the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP-GRID, Sioux Falls) and the World Resources Institute (WRI).
This work is intended to provide a population database that compliments previous work carried out for Asia and Africa. This data set is more detailed than the Africa and Asia data sets. Population estimates for 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990 and 2000 are also provided.

The work discussed in the following paragraphs is also related to NCGIA activities to produce a global database of subnational population estimates (Tobler et al. 1995), and an improved database for the Asian continent (Deichmann 1996a).
