This repository contains code to generate global habitat classification data (based on Jung et al. 2020). The habitat classification data are provided at two thematic levels (i.e., level 1 and level 2). Specifically, source data are downloaded from the Zenodo Digital Archive, and then projected to the World Behrmann coordinate reference system using (100 m resolution; ESRI:4326 coordinate reference system). A processed version of the data can be downloaded from the Zenodo Digital Repository. All credit should go to Jung et al. (2020), please cite their work if you use this dataset.
The habitat classification data are stored in raster (GeoTIFF) files.
The level 1 and level 2 data are stored separately. The file names
contain the version number of the original datasets (i.e., per the
digital object identifier). The latest version of the files are
jung-lvl1-10-5281_zenodo-4058819.tif and
jung-lvl2-10-5281_zenodo-4058819.tif (for level 1 and level 2 data,
respectively).
The metadata for the jung-lvl1-10-5281_zenodo-4058819.tif raster file
is shown below.

You can run the code to produce the dataset using the system command
make clean all. After processing has successfully completed, the code
will produce two raster (GeoTIFF) files in the results directory.
