The gHM\nvalues range from 0.0-1.0 and are calculated by estimating the proportion of a given location\n(pixel) that is modified, the estimated intensity of modification\nassociated with a given type of human modification or \"stressor\".\n5 major anthropogenic stressors circa 2016 were mapped using 13\nindividual datasets:\n\n- human settlement (population density, built-up areas)\n- agriculture (cropland, livestock)\n- transportation (major, minor, and two-track roads; railroads)\n- mining and energy production\n- electrical infrastructure (power lines, nighttime lights)\n\nPlease see the paper for additional methodological details.\nThis asset was re-projected to WGS84 for use in Earth Engine.\n\n### Bands\n\n\n**Pixel Size**\n\n1000 meters\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Units | Min | Max | Pixel Size | Description |\n|-------|-------|-----|-----|------------|---------------------------|\n| `gHM` | km\\^2 | 0 | 1 | meters | global Human Modification |\n\n### Terms of Use\n\n**Terms of Use**\n\n[CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0](https://spdx.org/licenses/CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0.html)\n\n### Citations\n\nCitations:\n\n- Kennedy, C.M., J.R.
