Researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have released LandScan Mosaic, a next-generation global population distribution dataset that estimates where people are by modeling how buildings are used and occupied throughout the day. Built on the foundation of ORNL's widely used LandScan Global, one of the world's most accurate population distribution datasets, Mosaic's enhancements will improve disaster response, humanitarian assistance, infrastructure planning and national security missions worldwide.
