<p>distancefromforestedge_pantropics.zip - a zipped geotiff file in WGS84 coordinates whose pixel values indicate the distance in meters to the nearest forest edge as defined by:&nbsp;Baccini, A., Goetz, S.J., Walker, W.S., Laporte, N.T., Sun, M., Sulla-Menashe, D., Hackler, J., Beck, P.S.A., Dubayah, R., Friedl, M.A., Samanta, S., Houghton, R.A., 2012. Estimated carbon dioxide emissions from tropical deforestation improved by carbon-density maps.
