    This dataset updates: Every year
    Age and sex structures: WorldPop produces different types of gridded population count datasets, depending on the methods used and end application. An overview of the data can be found in Tatem et al, and a description of the modelling methods used found in Tatem et al and Pezzulo et al. The 'Global per country 2000-2020' datasets represent the outputs from a project focused on construction of consistent 100m resolution population count datasets for all countries of the World for each year 2000-2020 structured by male/female and 5-year age classes (plus a <1 year class). These efforts necessarily involved some shortcuts for consistency. The 'individual countries' datasets represent older efforts to map population age and sex counts for each country separately, using a set of tailored geospatial inputs and differing methods and time periods. The 'whole continent' datasets are mosaics of the individual countries datasets.

    The health and survival of women and their new-born babies in low income countries is a key public health priority, but basic and consistent subnational data on the number of pregnancies to support decision making has been lacking. WorldPop integrates small area data on the distribution of women of childbearing age, age-specific fertility rates, still births and abortions to map the estimated distributions of pregnancies for each 1x1km grid square across all low and middle income countries.

    This map illustrates the satellite-detected water extent in the District of Sanamay, Attapeu Province, in the southwestern part of Lao People's Democratic Republic after the tropical storm SONCA-17. The UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis used a Sentinel-1 satellite image acquired on the 30 July 2017 and detected several areas with potentially standing waters. In the district of Sanamxay ~5,225 ha are likely flooded.This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

    This map illustrates the satellite-detected water extent in the Phonhong & Viengkham Districts, Vientiane Province, in the northwestern part of Lao People’s Democratic Republic after the tropical storm SONCA-17. The UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis used a Sentinel-1 satellite image acquired on the 1 August 2017 and detected several areas with potentially standing waters. In the district of Phonhong 2,045 ha are likely flooded and in the district of Viengkham 1,077 ha. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field.

    This UNOSAT LIVE map integrates geo-spatial data in support of response efforts following Tropical Cyclone SONCA-17, after it made landfall in Laos on 26 July 2017. More specifically, it was created with the aim of supporting a food security field assessment carried out by World Food Programme on the ground. Up-to-date, comprehensive satellite image derived flood analyses are displayed, together with photos automatically uploaded from the UN-ASIGN smartphone app. Additional supporting GIS data are also included on the map.

    This map illustrates the satellite-detected water extent in the district of Khamkeuth in Borikhamxay province, in the central-northern part of Lao People’s Democratic Republic after the tropical storm SONCA-17. The UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis used a Sentinel-1 satellite image acquired on the 11 August 2017 and detected several areas with potentially standing waters. In the district of Khamkeuth ~2,441 ha are likely flooded. Kindly note, the district of Khamkeuth has been partially analyzed due to the image does not cover the full district. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

    This map illustrates the satellite-detected water extent in the District of Khongxedone, Salavan Province, in the southwestern part of Lao People’s Democratic Republic after the tropical storm SONCA-17. The UNITAR-UNOSAT analysis used a Sentinel-1 satellite image acquired on the 30 July 2017 and detected several areas with potentially standing waters. In the district of Khongxedone ~2,921 ha are likely flooded mostly affecting the central part of the district along the “Xe Don” river. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.

    This map illustrates the satellite-detected surface waters extent in Sanamxay district, Attapeu province, as observed from the Radarsat-2 radar image acquired on 24 July 2018. The previous day, the Xe-Namnoy dam collapsed, inducing flash floods along the Vang Ngao river and affecting several villages located 50 km downstream. Within the analysed area 14,692 ha of surface waters were detected after the heavy rains that happened on 22 July and as well the collapse of the dam. Several villages and surrounding agricultural fields seems to be inundated. The villages of Ban Hinlat, Ban Thaseangchan, Ban Mai and Ban Samong-tai seems to be the most affected ones. It is likely that flood waters have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas, along the main riverbanks and within built-up urban areas because of the special characteristics of the used satellite data. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR - UNOSAT.

    This map illustrates the evolution of satellite-detected surface waters in Sanamxay district, Attapeu province, as observed from the Radarsat-2 radar image acquired on 24 July 2018 and compared with a Radsarsat-2 image acquired on 10 July 2018. As of 10 July 2018, flooded areas and saturated soils were already visible, due to the heavy rains that happened previously to the collapse of the dam. As well, the reservoir controlled by the dam was full of water. As of 24 July 2018, an additional surface of 5,826 ha of inundated areas were detected, representing an increase of the surface waters of 66%, due to the collapse of the dam. At this date, the reservoir that was controlled by the dam has decreased in its size. Several villages and surrounding agricultural fields seems to be inundated. The villages of Ban Hinlat, Ban Thaseangchan, Ban Mai and Ban Samong-tai seems to be the most affected ones. It is likely that flood waters have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas, along the main riverbanks and within built-up urban areas because of the special characteristics of the used satellite data.
