    1. consistent font style in data titles  ·  completed

    2. Is the data symmetrical from the Equator?  In the ascii format using a 0.5 degree resolution, the yllcorner equals -58 degrees. Since there are 286 rows, this represents a total of 143 degrees. Is the upper left corner then at 85 degrees latitude (-58 + 143)?

    3. Read the data in Matlab

    4. Correction of Maldives data necessary?

    5. I am trying to get population densities for world metropolitan areas (e.g., # of residents per square kilometer or square mile) and if possible comparison figures for previously points in time (e.g., the latest available estimate versus 1 year ago, 5 years ago, etc.).  Can I use the GRUMP data ?

    6. Fix the data downloader for GMIS and HBASE

    7. Save the data before the trump effect begins?

    8. There is a slight misalignment between the pop density and the urban extent data layers for Africa, due to differences in the BLW files. The former layer has 0.00833333333330 0.00000000000000 0.00000000000000

      -0.00833333333330 -25.99583333333335 37.99583333303735

      and the latter has

      0.00833333000000

      0.00000000000000

      0.00000000000000

      -0.00833333000000

      -25.99583333500000

      37.99580373499999



      This makes a difference of a couple of hundred meters. Is this just because the analysts were rounding? Is it okay to use the same BLW data for both files?

    16. Are there any published papers about GPWv4?

    17. I'm using population density data, 2.5' grid.  My question is -- If a small populated island is the only land in a given cell, and its area is smaller than the cell's, how is the population density for the cell computed?  Is the population of the island distributed over the whole cell's area?  Or is the population density of the island applied to the whole cell?
