Global 100m Terrestrial Human Footprint (HFP-100) v1.2

The Human Footprint (HFP) is used to monitor changing anthropogenic pressures on nature on a yearly cadence based on land cover change, population density, nighttime lights, roads, railways, and navigable rivers. This dataset updates previous version of the Human Footprint with a higher resolution and more recent time-series. Includes global maps at a 100m resolution.

What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: Human Footprint score (0-50) · land cover change · population density · electric infrastructure · roads · railways · navigable waterways
Coverage docs-verified: Global · 2017-2021
Resolution docs-verified: 100 m
Update frequency llm-inferred: Yearly time series (annual layers 2017-2021); no release schedule stated
Formats docs-verified: GeoTIFF (COG)
Access docs-verified: Public, anonymous access via data.source.coop (per entry); licence CC-BY-4.0

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Site-scale human pressure screening for BNG habitat baseline context · Catchment-level pressure context for water resource or EIA scoping · Year-on-year (2017-2021) change in land pressure for ecological impact assessment
Audience llm-inferred: ecologists · GIS analysts · planners · hydrologists

Limitations

Constraints docs-verified: Pasture, roads and railways are treated as static, not time-varying · Time series covers 2017-2021 only; v1 (2015-2020) is a separate dataset · Values stored as uint16 scaled x1000 (50000 = score 50); no-data coded as 65535 · Land cover input is Esri/Impact Observatory 10m 9-class LULC
