Hello,
I know its absolutly not the right place for such a question but it is very urgent. Probably someone can help me.
I'm searching a free file including the population density of the earth or of europe. Does anyobody know where I can get such a file?
Thanks and sorry.
Greetings Maik

I have a note in a presentation that says:
\url{http://geodata.grid.unep.ch/\}, 2.5 minute world population density
1990
from a file "popd_90.txt" that I could read with GDAL, which I downloaded
through the GRID data portal a couple of months ago. The file name may be
the one I gave it. There seem to be data for 1990 and 1995 there.

Thanks and sorry.

Hello Maik,
The two best current sources of global gridded popuation that I'm aware of are:
Landscan: http://www.ornl.gov/sci/landscan/
Requires registration, usage restrictions. Interpolated to 1km globally.
Gridded Population of the World: http://beta.sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/gpw/
This is at the same 2.5 minute resolution Roger mentioned, but is updated and has population projections available.
