Collection of global datasets for the study of floods, droughts and their interactions with human societies

This is a collection of 134 global and free datasets allowing for spatial (and temporal) analyses of floods, droughts and their interactions with human societies. We have structured the datasets into seven categories: hydrographic baseline, hydrological dynamics, hydrological extremes, land cover &amp; agriculture, human presence, water management, and vulnerability. Please refer to Lindersson et al. (2020) for further information about review methodology. The collection is a descriptive list, holding the following information for each dataset: Category<em> - as structured in Lindersson et al. (2020).</em> Sub-category<em>- as structured in Lindersson et al. (2020).</em> Abbreviation - <em>official or as specified in Lindersson et al. (2020).</em> Title <em>- full title of dataset.</em> Product(s)<em> - type of product(s) offered by the dataset.</em> Period<em> - time period covered by the dataset, not defined for all datasets.</em> Temporal resolution<em> - not defined for static datasets.</em> Angular spatial resolution<em> - only defined for gridded datasets.</em> Metric spatial resolution <em>- only defined for gridded datasets.</em> Map scale Extent<em> - geographic coverage of dataset given in latitude limits.</em> Description Creating institute(s) Data type<em> - raster, vector or tabular.</em> File format Primary EO type<em> - specifies if the product primarily is based on remote sensing, ground-based data, or a hybrid between remote sensing and ground-based data.</em> Data sources<em> - lists the data sources behind the dataset, to the extent this is feasible.</em> Data sources also in this table<em> - data sources that are also included as datasets in this collection.</em> Intentionally compatible with<em> - defines other datasets in this collection that the dataset is intentinoally compatible with.</em> Citation<em> - dataset reference or credit.</em> Documentation <em>- dataset documentation.</em> Web address<em> - dataset access link.</em> NOTE: Carefully consult the data usage licenses as given by the data providers, to assure that the exact permissions and restrictions are followed.
