Digital version of the GLASOD database. The International Soil Reference and Information Centre (ISRIC) at Wageningen ( The Netherlands) was commissioned by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to collect the GLASOD database. From the data, ISRIC produced a 1:10 million scale wall chart which was published in 1990. One of the prime objectives of assembling the GLASOD database was its use in the Global Assessment of Desertification. Further processing was then conducted by UNEP Global Resource Information Database (GRID)
