What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: MajorTOM 10 km grid tile metadata (one row per tile) · terrain (elevation, Copernicus GLO-30 DEM) · climate (mean annual precipitation, mean annual 2 m air temperature) · soil (clay, sand, organic carbon, bulk density, pH at 0 cm) · socioeconomic (GDP, population density, human modification index, critical infrastructure index) · administrative (country, state/province, district at tile centroid) · MGRS/UTM grid references (CRS, Sentinel-2 MGRS tile, geotransform)
Coverage docs-verified: Global, tiles between 80°S and 84°N · Source-dependent: ERA5 1979 to 2020 (climate); 2020 (population, human modification); 2022 (GDP)
Resolution docs-verified: 10 km grid cells; geoenrich values sampled at tile centroid at 5120 m scale
Formats docs-verified: GeoParquet 1.1.0
Access docs-verified: Public, anonymous HTTPS/S3 access; licence CC-BY-4.0 (free/open)

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Assign a project site to its MajorTOM 10 km tile and pull elevation, precipitation and temperature for desk-based screening · Soil property baseline (clay, sand, bulk density, pH) for early-stage civils or geotechnical desk studies · Socioeconomic and critical infrastructure exposure scoping (population, GDP, CISI) for resilience or planning context · Bulk tile sampling of administrative and climate attributes across a study area via DuckDB or GeoParquet queries
Audience llm-inferred: GIS analysts · hydrologists · drainage engineers · geotechnical engineers · planners · ecologists

Limitations

Constraints llm-inferred: Values are point samples at tile centroid at 5120 m scale, not tile averages, so they are indicative and not site-specific · A null value means no source data at that point, not zero · geoenrich:population is 0 over water and Antarctica rather than null · Source vintages differ (ERA5 1979 to 2020, GDP 2022, population and human modification 2020) · Global dataset with no UK-specific layers documented; UK use needs checking against UK-native sources · No update cadence stated; last updated 11 Apr 2026 · Licence is CC-BY-4.0, so attribution is required; the entry's licence field points to a README that was not reviewed
