The PRIO-GRID dataset is a grid structure that aids the compilation, management and analysis of spatial data within a time-consistent framework. It consists of quadratic grid cells that jointly cover all terrestrial areas of the world.
Each grid cell contains cell-specific information on socio-economic conditions, ethnic groups, physical attributes, climatic conditions and more.
