Description: We introduce a novel geospatial dataset that provides a granular-yet-global, parsimonious-yet-rich ecological characteriszation of over 1.5 million postal codes across 94 countries and regions around the world. Combining two large-scale satellite image resources (ASTER; SRTM) and a customised customized geospatial sampling model, we provide high-resolution indicators of physical topography (elevation, mountainousness, distance to sea), vegetation (normalized difference vegetation index) and climate (surface temperature). A cross-validation between ASTER and SRTM elevation data demonstrated high concordance (ICC = 0.999).
