AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
This collection provides various gap-filled environmental datasets, including EVI, LST, TCB, and TCW, derived from MODIS imagery and processed using the approach outlined in Weiss et al.(2014).
-
It includes a fractional landcover product based on the IGBP layer from MODIS annual landcover data (MCD12Q1), representing the percentage of land cover types within each pixel.
-
Additionally, it offers global accessibility maps for cities and healthcare facilities, indicating travel time to these locations based on land-based travel speed data.
-
The datasets were developed by the Malaria Atlas Project (MAP) and are intended for research and analysis related to environmental monitoring, malaria epidemiology, and accessibility studies.

Accessibility to Cities 2015
This global accessibility map enumerates land-based travel time to the nearest densely-populated area for all areas between 85 degrees north and 60 degrees south for a nominal year 2015. Densely-populated areas are defined as contiguous areas with 1,500 or more inhabitants per square kilometer or … accessibility jrc map oxford population twente -
Accessibility to Healthcare 2019
This global accessibility map enumerates land-based travel time (in minutes) to the nearest hospital or clinic for all areas between 85 degrees north and 60 degrees south for a nominal year 2019. It also includes "walking-only" travel time, using non-motorized means of transportation only. Major … accessibility jrc map oxford population twente -
Global Friction Surface 2019
This global friction surface enumerates land-based travel speed for all land pixels between 85 degrees north and 60 degrees south for a nominal year 2019. It also includes "walking-only" travel speed, using non-motorized means of transportation only. This map was produced through a collaboration between … accessibility jrc map oxford population twente -
Oxford MAP: Malaria Atlas Project Fractional International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme Landcover
The underlying dataset for this landcover product is the IGBP layer found within the MODIS annual landcover product (MCD12Q1). This data was converted from its categorical format, which has a ≈500 meter resolution, to a fractional product indicating the integer percentage (0-100) of the output … landcover landuse-landcover map oxford
