GHS-BUILT-S ARCTIC R2025A – gridded built-up surface estimates for the Arctic region (1975-2030)

This dataset is part of GHSL-Arctic, the Arctic edition of the Global Human Settlement Layer. GHS-BUILT-S ARCTIC depicts the distribution of the built-up surface in the Arctic region between 1975 and 2030 in 5-year intervals for two functional use components: a) the total built-up surface and b) the non-residential (NRES) built-up surface. The data are based on Landsat and Sentinel-2 multispectral data observed in 1975, 1990, 2000, 2014, and 2018. GHS-BUILT-S_ARCTIC_R2025A is a subset of the GHS-BUILT-S_GLOBE_R2023A product, and has been reprojected from World Mollweide projection (ESRI:54009) to the North Pole LAEA Europe reference system (EPSG:3575) using VectorCubeWarp, a tool for volume-preserving, gridded data cube resampling using areal interpolation.
