GLOBAL LCZ MAP

The global map of Local Climate Zones has been published in the open-access data journal Earth System Science Data:

Demuzere, M., Kittner, J., Martilli, A., Mills, G., Moede, C., Stewart, I. D., van Vliet, J., and Bechtel, B. (2022). A global map of Local Climate Zones to support earth system modelling and urban scale environmental science, Earth Syst. Sci. Data 14(8) 3835-3873. DOI: 10.5194/essd-14-3835-2022.
