Global Urban Air Quality Model.<br>The GUAM model calculates the PM10 concentration for 3300 major cities and the resulting health effects. The model is based on the World Bank The Global Model of Ambient Particulates (GMAPS) model and includes next to demographic, geographic and meteorological conditions also emissions from major air pollutants. +
Global composites and land cover maps using as input observations from the 300m MERIS sensor on board the ENVISAT satellite mission. +

Grass requirement; ruminants (nondairy cattle, dairy cattle, sheep and goats) are grazing animals, and part (in mixed systems) or most (pastoral systems) of their feed is grass, hay or other roughage; this grass requirement is calculated as a fraction of the total energy (feed) requirement. +

Harmonized World Soil Database +
HYDE includes both general topics such as land use, population, livestock, gross domestic product (along with value added generated in industry and the service sector), and specific data on energy, the economy, atmosphere, oceans and the terrestrial environment.
The current HYDE version 3.1 is an updated and internally consistent combination of historical population estimates and improved allocation algorithms with time-dependent weighting maps for cropland and grassland are implemented, while the period covered now is extended from 10 000 BC to AD 2000. An important contribution of HYDE is that numerous historical data on population, built-up area, cropland and pasture of varying quantity and quality have been collected and streamlined into a consistent data base. With the population data from the United Nations World Population Prospects as a start (supplemented with many other historical population data sources), it serves as a central backbone for the land use part as well. Here, the data of the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) form the basis, and combined with many other land use data sources and the population data base, it resulted in a long term consistent population and land use data base on a high resolution 5 arc-minutes grid. +
Fraction of harvested wood used as product, the remainder being left as residues. Specified per biomass pool and forestry management type. +
Wood harvested and removed. +
The database contains two levels of land cover information—detailed, regionally optimized land cover legends for each continent and a less thematically detailed global legend that harmonizes regional legends into one consistent product. The land cover maps are all based on daily data from the VEGETATION sensor on-board SPOT 4. +
Hydrological data and maps based on SHuttle Elevation Derivatives at multiple Scales.
HydroSHEDS is a mapping product that provides hydrographic information for regional and global-scale applications in a consistent format. It offers a suite of geo-referenced data sets (vector and raster) at various scales, including river networks, watershed boundaries, drainage directions, and flow accumulations. HydroSHEDS is based on high-resolution elevation data obtained during a Space Shuttle flight for NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). +

The Energy-Economy-Environment Modelling Laboratory E3MLab operating within the Institute of Communication and Computer Systems of the National Technical University of Athens (ICCS/NTUA), Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is a laboratory that specializes in the construction and use of large scale computerised models covering the areas of Energy, the Economy and the Environment. Such models are used to make projections and analyse complex issues requiring system-wide consideration. Special emphasis is given to policy analysis and support. +
