    1. I want to visualize/mashup many of your Web Map Services in ArcGIS Online, or even ArcMap. But, I'm not having much luck with ArcGIS. Is there some guidance you can provide to help me here. I'm sure I'm not alone with this request and as ArcGIS Online is becoming more proliferate other will want to leverage your great services themselves in their own mashups.

    2. Are extreme events considered in the model?

    3. When I open a CSV file in excel, there are special characters that do not display correctly, what do I do?

    4. What has happened to .e00 format option? It appears to have been replaced by something called "grid"?

    5. I downloaded the urban extents grid from GRUMP (alpha).  When opened in ArcGIS, there are only two values 1 and 2.  What do these values mean ?

    6. What is the Human Influence Index?

    7. I would like to use your density of population to study climate impact and how affect society. In particular, the doubt is from density of population in Africa. I am extracting the .nc file from Panoply in txt and it gave me 20 raster. The question is what raster corresponds to the 2020 year?

    8. I'm looking for all of the administrative boundaries in your China Administrative map but I could not find the administrative boundary, for Chongqing.

    9. Is it possible to do a time series analysis on the ESIs?

    10. We would very much appreciate you informing us on how you base your calculations on the profitability on water, or possibly its quality.

    11. I downloaded the ArcInfo interchange files and tried (after import) to open them with the ARCGIS 8 software but each time it failed to open the file. I think the sta.adf file is missing (or another one). Could you please help me?

    12. How do I open ArcInfo Interchange file (.e00) in ArcGIS?

    13. How often will the ESI be updated?

    14. What is the difference between GPW and GRUMP population grids?

    15. Could you please let me know if there is any link between the ESI and Corporate Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Reporting? Alternatively, would you regard the ESI as a proxy for national TBL reporting?

    16. I need some gridded population information so I downloaded GRUMPv1, which seems like it should be perfect for my needs. However the number in the file naup00g.asc (North America unadjusted population counts in the grid) are small floating point numbers. I had expected that they would be population counts in the grid cell, which is what the documentation seems to say. Not sure how to interpret values like "2.35144e-005" as a population count! Am I misinterpreting these somehow?

    17. What is the difference between GPW and GRUMP population grids?

    18. Could you please tell me how and with what kind of weighting the ecological footprint has been factored into the 2002 ESI?

    19. I am looking for the ESI reports for 2003 and 2004.   Is the ESI available for these years?

    20. I have been trying to download the GRUMP/GPW datasets but the web download does not seem to be working.
