Thematic data
This collection provides global geospatial datasets organized into thematic domains. The catalogue brings together remote sensing products, model outputs, environmental indicators, and demographic datasets that capture long-term changes in human settlements, water resources, climate, ecosystems, land cover, and terrain. The data are sourced from reliable and independently validated scientific providers, ensuring consistency and credibility across datasets. Each dataset includes detailed licensing, metadata, and direct cloud access via STAC and S3, enabling transparent and reproducible analysis.
