The allocation of resources and the design of policies tailored to local-level conditions require highly disaggregated information. Data on poverty at the local level is typically not available because most household surveys are not representative past the regional level. This volume aims to promote the effective use of Small Area Estimation poverty maps in policy making. It presents the range of policies and interventions which have been informed by poverty maps, focusing on the political economy of poverty maps and the key elements to their effective use by policy makers. The volume also loo

This atlas contains maps of phosphate, nitrate & silicate at selected standard levels of the world ocean in a one-degree grid. The fields used to generate these maps were computed by objective historical data. Maps for all-data annual composing periods are presented. Data distribution maps are presented for various composting periods. Basin zonal averages & basin volume averages are computed form these objectively analyzed fields & presented in the form of figures & tables.

Abstract: "In geographical information systems (GIS), the need for hierarchically organized data structures has evolved. The reason for this stems from the fact that the map information usually is extremely large and that low resolution maps in most applications require less heavy computations than maps represented in higher resolutions. Hierarchical spatial data structures for generation of maps in lower resolutions already exist, e.g. quad-trees and resolution pyramids. Many other spatial data structures that are non-hierarchical do not permit the generation of resolution hierarchies like th
