Filipe Batista e Silva<\/a> is a PhD candidate at SPINlab working for the European Union\u2019s Joint Research Centre. Over the past years he worked on uncovering temporal changes in Europe’s population density patterns using a data fusion approach. He combines official statistics with geospatial data from emerging sources to produce and validate a European Union-wide dataset of population grids taking into account intraday and monthly population variations at 1 km2<\/sup> resolution. The results reproduce and systematically quantify known insights concerning the spatio-temporal population density structure of large European cities, whose daytime population are estimated to be, on average, 1.9 times higher than night time in city centres.<\/p>\n

The data is generated using open data sources and fully freely accessible from JRC\u2019s data repository<\/a> . The paper<\/a> describing the data fusion approach, its validation and the insights it provides in spatiotemporal variation in population density was published in the prestigious Nature Communications <\/em>journal.<\/p>\n
