“GADM is a database of the location of the world’s administrative areas. Administrative areas in this database are countries and lower level subdivisions such as provinces, departments, districts etc. GADM has been developed as part of the BioGeoMancer project. It was partly funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore foundation. The work was done at the Univeristy of California, Berkeley, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, and the International Rice Research Institute by Robert Hijmans, Nell Garcia, Julian Kapoor, Arnel Rala, Aileen Maunahan, and John Wieczorek.” – accessed on 5/27/09 – read more on the website above.

Progress Map

My favorite “yet-complete-but-they-are-getting-there” global dataset (scale 1:1000K.) The ISCGM Global Mapping Project supports development of global scale geographic information through international cooperation. To access data files, click on “Download” on the left – Registration (free) is required to download data. This map shows the progress & participants of the project. (This blog’s countries listing is updated on 1/17/09.)

Eight major data categories are:

  • Admin. Boundaries
  • Drainages
  • Elevation
  • Land Cover
  • Land Use
  • Population Centers
  • Transportation
  • Vegetation
