Building the global data commons.
Open data for the whole earth — a growing catalogue of geospatial layers covering land cover, elevation, climate, biodiversity and administrative boundaries.
Planet-scale data, in the hands of everyone who needs it.
From the ground up, every layer of the planet.
Geospatial
Vector and raster layers covering land, sea, boundaries and built environment.
Climate
Reanalysis, forecasts, historical observations and gridded climate variables.
Biodiversity
Species occurrences, habitats, ecoregions and protected areas.
Atmosphere
Air quality, composition, aerosols and trace gases.
Ocean
Sea-surface temperature, salinity, currents and bathymetry.
Other
Additional planet-scale datasets that don't fit elsewhere.
Recently added to the catalogue.

Anonymised, aggregated flows of people across the planet — where they go, when, and the activity they are doing.
GeospatialAdministrative Boundaries
Country, region, province, and district boundaries for every territory on earth, harmonised to a single schema.
GeospatialGlobal Land Cover
A harmonised 10-metre land-cover map of the entire planet, classified into 11 surface types.
