AI Summary

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory released LandScan Mosaic, a next‑generation global population distribution dataset. Mosaic estimates where people are by modeling building use and occupancy throughout the day. It builds on ORNL’s widely used LandScan Global dataset, which is among the world’s most accurate population distributions. The new enhancements are intended to improve disaster response, humanitarian assistance, infrastructure planning, and national security missions worldwide.
