“LSM-TS provides annual global estimates of ambient population from 1975–2024 at ~90 m resolution, creating a spatially and temporally consistent reconstruction of population change designed for longitudinal analysis. Reconstruction of historical populations are driven by current LandScan Mosaic building-level population distributions, scaled by built-surface change from #GHSL … and calibrated to annual national-level estimates from U.S. Census Bureau…”

“LandScan is a globally recognized, R&D100-winning population data platform developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Its datasets provide human population distribution estimates down to 100 meter grid resolution. LandScan supports disaster response, humanitarian aid, environmental analysis, and urban planning by providing insights into where people live and how they move…”

“Gridded population data support assessments of human exposure, settlement change, infrastructure demand, and access to services, yet global datasets combining annual coverage over multiple decades with fine spatial resolution remain limited. LandScan Mosaic Time Series provides 50 annual estimates of global ambient population distribution at 3 arc-second resolution from 1975 through 2024. The series is anchored to the 2024 LandScan Mosaic surface, produced through a building-level population modeling workflow. Historical surfaces are reconstructed using annualized changes in built surface and derived first-level administrative population trajectories. Every layer, including 2024, is normalized to administrative targets scaled to annual country totals from the U.S. Census Bureau International Database. The dataset is distributed as 50 single-band Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs on an identical WGS84 grid, with values representing estimated persons per cell. Its common grid and methodology support fine-scale longitudinal analysis of ambient population distribution while documented validation and limitations guide appropriate reuse…”

Lansing’s New Fish Ladder Music Park Climbs the Charts!

Wildly popular local 1980s tribute band, Starfarm, recently helped christen the new Fish Ladder Music Park amphitheater in the heart of Lansing, Michigan.

Inspired by the success of previous events along the Grand River, such as “Dam Jam,” the 1981 Brenke Fish Ladder in Lansing’s Old Town district has been beautifully transformed into an engaging outdoor performance venue with terraced seating for 350 attendees, while continuing to serve its original purpose.

Originally designed for aiding and observing salmon and trout on their journey to spawning grounds further upstream, the fish ladder will now also help spawn up-and-coming new artists, while also providing a unique venue for more established music veterans. 

“This park features a permanent performance stage and seating inside the fish ladder along with an electric forest illuminating the park, bench swings, a gas fireplace and numerous accessibility features.” – Lansing.org

As a retired urban planner who resided in the Lansing area for many years, The Fish Ladder Music Park is a novel and exciting addition to the entire Michigan music scene. To adapt such an important resource into a multi-purpose facility that serves both environmental protection and live art performance functions at the same time, is great placemaking at its very best. Well done, Lansing!

Needless to say, some of our aquatic friends are going to be “schooled” on some great music while swimming their way through Lansing’s Old Town.

Peace!
