Migration00:53

Migration

8.0K
Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.

Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

24.5K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Cell Migration01:19

Cell Migration

4.9K
Cell migration is a process by which the cells move from one location to another, playing an essential role in embryological development, repair and regeneration, immune response, and metastasis. Cells migrate in response to chemical or mechanical signals generated by specific organs or tissues. The overall mechanism includes three steps - polarization, protrusion, and release. Polarization involves the formation of a distinct cell front and rear, which determines the direction of movement.

Selected Data About Geographic Locations

43
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) rely on two core types of data: spatial data and attribute data.Spatial DataSpatial data defines the physical location of features within a coordinate system, typically expressed in terms of latitude and longitude. It provides precise positioning for elements like roads, rivers, or buildings.Attribute DataAttribute data complements spatial data by adding descriptive information about these features. For example, a road's spatial data includes its start and...

GIS Software, Hardware, and Sources of GIS Data01:23

GIS Software, Hardware, and Sources of GIS Data

92
A Geographic Information System (GIS) combines specialized software and hardware to effectively manage, analyze, and present spatial and related data. GIS software includes critical functionalities such as a user interface for easy navigation, database management tools for handling spatial and attribute data, and data retrieval features for efficient access. Analytical tools transform raw data into insights, while display functions produce maps and reports in various formats for effective...

Levels of Use of a GIS

71
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Area of Science:

  • Demography
  • Human Geography
  • Socioeconomics

Background:

  • Global migration is a significant public and political issue, yet high-resolution data on its scale and drivers are lacking.
  • Understanding migration patterns is essential for addressing population dynamics and resource allocation worldwide.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a high-resolution global dataset of annual net migration from 2000 to 2019.
  • To identify and analyze the primary drivers of migration at a global scale.
  • To highlight the importance of subnational migration analysis for policy and international cooperation.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a global net migration dataset (~10 km grid) for 216 countries using downscaled subnational birth and death rates.
  • Utilized reported census data and administrative unit information for population analysis.
  • Analyzed migration patterns in relation to socioeconomic and geophysical factors.

Main Results:

  • Quantified annual net migration globally between 2000 and 2019.
  • Found that socioeconomic factors are more strongly associated with migration than climatic factors.
  • Observed that approximately 50% of the urban population lived in areas with migration-fueled growth, and one-third of the global population resided in provinces with positive rural net migration.

Conclusions:

  • Subnational analysis of migration is critical for effective policy design and management.
  • Socioeconomic drivers play a more significant role in migration than climatic factors.
  • The developed dataset provides a valuable resource for understanding and managing internal and international migration.
