GHS-BUSS ARCTIC R2025 - built-up surface segments (BUSS) for the Arctic region (1975-2030)

These geospatial vector datasets contain the centroids of segments of built-up grid cells derived from the GHS-BUILT-S Arctic Edition R2025A 1km gridded data. All adjacent grid cells with a built-up surface estimate >0 were merged to a vector object, and the centroid location, the segment area, total built-up surface, and the total population was obtained. Covers the Arctic region as defined by the AMAP Arctic coverage (https://www.amap.no/about/geographical-coverage). GHS-BUSS datasets are available as point geometries in GeoPackage format, in the North Pole LAEA Europe (EPSG:3575) spatial reference system.
