Carlo and Chris will walk you through the dataset we'll be analyzing, present some examples, and discuss what you can (and, more importantly, can't) do with this data. Be prepared to ask any questions! We will distribute the data files in a USB flash drive (complimentary; yours to keep). You can also download the dataset from IFPRI Dataverse at

Re. the BIO data layers under the Geospatial Data and Maps / Raster, each data layers corresponds:
- BIO1 = Annual Mean Temperature
- BIO2 = Mean Diurnal Range (Mean of monthly (max temp - min temp))
- BIO3 = Isothermality (P2/P7) (* 100)
- BIO4 = Temperature Seasonality (standard deviation *100)
- BIO5 = Max Temperature of Warmest Month
- BIO6 = Min Temperature of Coldest Month
- BIO7 = Temperature Annual Range (P5-P6)
- BIO8 = Mean Temperature of Wettest Quarter
- BIO9 = Mean Temperature of Driest Quarter
- BIO10 = Mean Temperature of Warmest Quarter
- BIO11 = Mean Temperature of Coldest Quarter
- BIO12 = Annual Precipitation
- BIO13 = Precipitation of Wettest Month
- BIO14 = Precipitation of Driest Month
- BIO15 = Precipitation Seasonality (Coefficient of Variation)
- BIO16 = Precipitation of Wettest Quarter
- BIO17 = Precipitation of Driest Quarter
- BIO18 = Precipitation of Warmest Quarter
- BIO19 = Precipitation of Coldest Quarter
