Socioeconomic Data and Applications Data Center (SEDAC)

SEDAC is operated by the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN), a unit of the Earth Institute at Columbia University based at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York. SEDAC’s missions are to synthesize Earth science and socioeconomic data and information in ways useful to a wide range of decision makers and other applied users, and to provide an “Information Gateway” between the socioeconomic and Earth science data and information domains. The data center has extensive holdings related to population, sustainability, and geospatial data, and provides access to a large number of multilateral environmental agreements
