TerraPop Vision An organizational and technical framework to preserve, integrate, disseminate, and analyze global-scale spatiotemporal data describing population and the environment. Develop tools to make data interoperable across data formats and subject areas Break down disciplinary silos
3
TerraPop Goals Lower barriers to conducting interdisciplinary human- environment interactions research by making data with different formats from different scientific domains easily interoperable
4
DOMAINS & FORMATS POPULATION MICRODATA AREA-LEVEL DATA Source Data
5
Making disparate data formats interoperable Microdata: Characteristics of individuals and households Area-level data: Characteristics of places defined by boundaries Raster data: Values tied to spatial coordinates
6
Microdata Structure Household record (shaded) followed by a person record for each member of the household Relationship Age Sex Race Birthplace Mother’s birthplace Occupation For each type of record, columns correspond to specific variables Geographic and housing characteristics

11
The Power of Microdata Customized measures: Variables based on combined characteristics of family and household members, capitalizing on the hierarchical structure of the data Multivariate analysis: Analyze many individual, household, and community characteristics simultaneously Interoperability: Harmonize data across time and space Age classification for school enrollment in published U.S. Census
12
Growth of Public-Use Microdata (number of person-records available) We are Here
13
IPUMS-International Microdata Over 100 Collaborating National Statistical Agencies
14
Area Level (Vector) Data Describing characteristics of geographic polygons Median Household Income by Census Tract
15
Area-level Data Sources Census tables, especially where microdata is unavailable Other types of surveys, data Agricultural surveys Economic surveys, data Election data Disease data Legal/policy information Environmental policy Social policy Human rights
16
Raster Data Represented as pixels in a grid Mean Precipitation
17
Raster Data Beta system Global Land Cover 2000 Harvested Area and Yield for 175 crops (Global Landscapes Initiative) Temperature and precipitation (WorldClim) Future additions Additional LU/LC and climate datasets Elevation Vegetation characteristics Bioclimatic & ecologic zones

Area-Level Summary of Raster Data
24
Rasterization of Area-Level Data
25
Rasterization Beta system – Uniform distribution assumption Use lowest level units available Rates – same value for all cells in unit Counts – evenly distributed across cells in unit Future – Distribute based on ancillary data Requires research on available methods May provide as service – users select: Ancillary data Weights Spatial distribution parameters
