Selected CD-ROMs and Websites

DemoGraphics [New]
This website is dedicated to providing analytic charts, maps, data animations and diagrams to everyone who is interested in global demographic trends. Its aim is to visualize the various aspects of global demographic change - a force that will fundamentally transform our world in the twenty-first century.

Probabilistic Population Projections
I have developed this website of the United Nations Population Division which presents the results of probabilistic population projections prepared by the Division's Population Estimates and Projections Section.

China-Profile
China-Profile.com is a website that analyzes key dimensions in China's recent development. In particular, it provides information on China's human development, natural resources and environment, economic development, infrastructure, science and technology, as well as policy and social structure. The Web site also has a time-line of key events in China since 1949.

China-Food
The ChinaFood website and CD-ROM not only includes in-depth analyses of China's food security problems and prospects but also a large number of inter-linked tables, figures, maps, and animations, which provide background information on China's agriculture and rural development and on many other aspects of the country's food system. I developed this CD-ROM when I worked as a senior research scholar at the IIASA Land-use Change Project.

RAPS-China
The Regional Analysis and Planning System (RAPS) consists of three components: a) A province-level database with more than 300 carefully selected development indicators. b) A set of software tools to browse, filter, and sort these data, and to combine the variables into customized regional development indicators, such as a Human Development Index, a Natural Resource Index, or an Environmental Protection Index. c) A set of easy-to-use software tools for visualizing the spatial distribution of variables and indices. These consist of thematic maps and various types of figures and charts.
