  2. Title: Washington Post Locations of Unsolved Homicides in the US, 2008-2018

    • Point data
    • 2018
    Contributors:

    Summary: This point shapefile represents locations of more than 52,000 criminal homicides between the years 2008-2018 (approximately) in 50 of the largest American cities. The data includes the location of the killing, whether an arrest was made and, in most cases, basic demographic information about each victim. Reporters from the Washington Post received data in many formats, including paper, and worked for months to clean and standardize it, comparing homicide counts and aggregate closure rates with FBI data to ensure the records were as accurate as possible. In some cases, departments provided only partial information about the homicides, so reporters consulted public records, including death certificates, court records and medical examiner reports, to fill in the gaps. The data is more specific than the federal homicide data gathered annually by the FBI from police agencies nationwide. The Post mapped each homicide, identifying arrest rates by geography in each city, sharing the analysis with the local police department prior to publication. This data was downloaded at the date of the data release and converted into a shapefile by NYU Data Services. The original data is available at: https://github.com/washingtonpost/data-homicides/.

  3. Title: Map of the city of Washington D.C. : established as the permanent seat of the government of the U.S. of Am. / James Keily, surveyor. (Raster Image)

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image of a map of the District of Columbia (Washington D.C.), originally created by James Kelly in 1851. The original map appears in "A Series of Charts, With Sailing Directions, Embracing Surveys of the Farallones, Entrance to the Bay of San Francisco...State of California... Third Edition, With Additions." The original map and this image are from the Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division. The georectifed map image was created by the David Rumsey Map Collection.The historic map layers in the Google Earth Rumsey Map Collection have been selected by David Rumsey from his large collection of historical maps, as well as some from other collections with which he collaborates. All the maps contain rich information about the past and represent a sampling of time periods, scales, and cartographic art, resulting in visual history stories that only old maps can tell. Each map has been georeferenced by Rumsey, thus creating unique digital map images that allow the old maps to appear in their correct places on the modern globe. Some of the maps fit perfectly in their modern spaces, while othersgenerally earlier period mapsreveal interesting geographical misconceptions of their time. Cultural features on the maps can be compared to the modern satellite views using the slider bars to adjust transparency. The result is an exploration of time as well as space, a marriage of historic cartographic masterpieces with innovative contemporary software tools.

  17. Title: Carbon Opportunity Cost of Present-Day Pasturelands and Animal Feed Crops

    • Raster data
    • 2020
    Contributors:

    Summary: This multi-band raster data represents estimates of carbon opportunity cost. The data is captured at a resolution of 5 arcminutes over the global domain and is derived from data collected approximately over the past two decades (2000-2020). The pixel values measure estimates in tonnes of potential vegetation per hectare that are suppressed by pasturelands and present-day feed crops. The bands represent three estimates of carbon in potential vegetation: median, low (5th percentile), and high (95th percentile).
