To date, virtually all analyses of an international nature have relied on data deriving from national or political boundaries. This research project will develop and analyze economic data on a geophysical (latitude and longitude) basis. By developing data on a geophysically gridded basis, it will be possible to promote insight and understanding into the relationship between socioeconomicdata and geophysical data.The central task of the research will be to develop a global, geophysically scaled data set on economic output. This data set is called the Geophysically Scaled Economic Data Set (GSEDS). The GSEDS will be a gridded data set a 1 degree latitude by 1 degre longitude resolution. This scale is approximately 100 by 100 km, which is somewhat smaller than the size of the major subnational political entities for most large countries. The economic activity concept will be gross value added (gross regional product) measured both at market exchange rates, and at purchasing-power parity exchange rates. The utility of the GSEDS will be to open up a wide range of research that is currently not possible with existing data. By linking economic and geophysical data, it will be possible to examine the environmental impacts of economic activity as well as the economic dimensions of geography and geophysical phenomena.

迄今为止，几乎所有国际性质的分析都依赖于来自国家或政治边界的数据。这一研究项目将在地球物理（纬度和经度）基础上编制和分析经济数据。通过在地理网格基础上开发数据，将有可能促进对社会经济数据和地球物理数据之间关系的深入了解和理解，研究的中心任务将是开发一个全球性的、按地理比例划分的经济产出数据集。这个数据集被称为地理尺度经济数据集（GSEDS）。GSEDS将是一个网格化的数据集，分辨率为1度纬度乘1度经度。这一比例约为100乘100公里，略小于大多数大国的国家以下一级主要政治实体的规模。经济活动的概念将是按市场汇率和购买力平价汇率计算的总增值（区域生产总值）。GSEDS的效用将是开辟目前现有数据无法实现的广泛研究。通过将经济和地球物理数据联系起来，将有可能审查经济活动对环境的影响以及地理和地球物理现象的经济层面。
