In the century between Napoleon's defeat and the outbreak of the First World War (known as the "Pax Britannica"), the British Empire grew to become the largest and most powerful empire in the world. At its peak in the 1910s and 1920s, it encompassed almost one quarter of both the world's population and its land surface, and was known as "the empire on which the sun never sets". The empire's influence could be felt across the globe, as Britain could use its position to affect trade and economies in all areas of the world, including many regions that were not part of the formal empire (for example, Britain was able to affect trading policy in China for over a century, due to its control of Hong Kong and the neighboring colonies of India and Burma). Some historians argue that because of its economic, military, political and cultural influence, nineteenth century Britain was the closest thing to a hegemonic superpower that the world ever had, and possibly ever will have. "Rule Britannia" Due to the technological and logistical restrictions of the past, we will never know the exact borders of the British Empire each year, nor the full extent of its power. However, by using historical sources in conjunction with modern political borders, we can gain new perspectives and insights on just how large and influential the British Empire actually was. If we transpose a map of all former British colonies, dominions, mandates, protectorates and territories, as well as secure territories of the East India Trading Company (EIC) (who acted as the precursor to the British Empire) onto a current map of the world, we can see that Britain had a significant presence in at least 94 present-day countries (approximately 48 percent). This included large territories such as Australia, the Indian subcontinent, most of North America and roughly one third of the African continent, as well as a strategic network of small enclaves (such as Gibraltar and Hong Kong) and islands around the globe that helped Britain to maintain and protect its trade routes. The sun sets... Although the data in this graph does not show the annual population or size of the British Empire, it does give some context to how Britain has impacted and controlled the development of the world over the past four centuries. From 1600 until 1920, Britain's Empire expanded from a small colony in Newfoundland, a failing conquest in Ireland, and early ventures by the EIC in India, to Britain having some level of formal control in almost half of all present-day countries. The English language is an official language in all inhabited continents, its political and bureaucratic systems are used all over the globe, and empirical expansion helped Christianity to become the most practiced major religion worldwide. In the second half of the twentieth century, imperial and colonial empires were eventually replaced by global enterprises. The United States and Soviet Union emerged from the Second World War as the new global superpowers, and the independence movements in longstanding colonies, particularly Britain, France and Portugal, gradually succeeded. The British Empire finally ended in 1997 when it seceded control of Hong Kong to China, after more than 150 years in charge. Today, the United Kingdom consists of four constituent countries, and it is responsible for three crown dependencies and fourteen overseas territories, although the legacy of the British Empire can still be seen, and it's impact will be felt for centuries to come.

[From The Landmap Project: Introduction, "http://www.landmap.ac.uk/background/intro.html"]

 A joint project to provide orthorectified satellite image mosaics of Landsat,
 SPOT and ERS radar data and a high resolution Digital Elevation Model for the
 whole of the UK. These data will be in a form which can easily be merged with
 other data, such as road networks, so that any user can quickly produce a
 precise map of their area of interest.

 Predominately aimed at the UK academic and educational sectors these data and
 software are held online at the Manchester University super computer facility
 where users can either process the data remotely or download it to their local
 network.

 Please follow the links to the left for more information about the project or
 how to obtain data or access to the radar processing system at MIMAS. Please
 also refer to the MIMAS spatial-side website,
 "http://www.mimas.ac.uk/spatial/", for related remote sensing materials.

This data results from the NRSC's ongoing 1:25000 UK Aerial Photography Programme; a project designed to maintain an up to date aerial coverage of the United Kingdom, covering the complete area at least every 5 years.

The Orthoview product has been generated from vertical aerial photographs. The photographs have been orthorectified (to correct for distortion towards their edges) then mosaiced to provide a seamless dataset for the UK at a 0.5 metre resolution. This allows imagery for any area of interest to be generated without issues associated with scenes falling across multiple photographs.

In addition to its prime application in photogrammetric mapping (from updating and contouring existing maps to preparing large scale engineering plans), the data is used for environmental studies, general planning, land use and land capability, soils, pollution, forestry, mining and quarrying, housing and leisure development, agriculture, geology, water, transport and civil engineering, boundary disputes, public enquiries, etc.

The data is stored in digital form and can be supplied on either Exabyte, CD-ROM or CCT. Various hard copy forms can also be generated, including posters and photographic positives/negatives. Price lists and further information are available from the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC).

Note: All photography is flown to RICS Specification for Aerial Photography Issue III, see references.

World Heritage Sites are part of the World Heritage Convention, established in 1972 by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation). They are landscapes, cities, monuments or buildings of exceptional natural or cultural value. The World Heritage List includes the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids, the Great Barrier Reef and the City of Venice. Sites in England include Stonehenge and Avebury, Canterbury Cathedral, the Tower of London, Hadrian’s Wall and the whole of the City of Bath. Please note: this dataset represents Historic England’s interpretation of the UNESCO World Heritage Site boundaries for sites wholly in or crossing into England.

This dataset comprises 2 collections of maps. The facsmile collection contains all the marginalia information from the original map as well as the map itself, while the georectified collection contains just the map with an associated index for locating them. Each collection comprises approximately 101 000 monochrome images at 6-inch (1:10560) scale. Each image is supplied in .tiff format with appropriate ArcView and MapInfo world files, and shows the topography for all areas of England, Wales and Scotland as either quarter or, in some cases, full sheets. The images will cover the approximate epochs 1880's, 1900's, 1910's, 1920's and 1930's, but note that coverage is not countrywide for each epoch. The data was purchased by BGS from Sitescope, who obtained it from three sources - Royal Geographical Society, Trinity College Dublin and the Ordnance Survey. The data is for internal use by BGS staff on projects, and is available via a customised application created for the network GDI enabling users to search for and load the maps of their choice. The dataset will have many uses across all the geoscientific disciplines across which BGS operates, and should be viewed as a valuable addition to the BGS archive. There has been a considerable amount of work done during 2005, 2006 and 2007 to improve the accuracy of the OS Historic Map Collection. All maps should now be located to +- 50m or better. This is the best that can be achieved cost effectively. There are a number of reasons why the maps are inaccurate. Firstly, the original maps are paper and many are over 100 years old. They have not been stored in perfect condition. The paper has become distorted to varying degrees over time. The maps were therefore not accurate before scanning. Secondly, different generations of maps will have used different surveying methods and different spatial referencing systems. The same geographical object will not necessarily be in the same spatial location on subsequent editions. Thirdly, we are discussing maps, not plans. There will be cartographic generalisations which will affect the spatial representation and location of geographic objects. Finally, the georectification was not done in BGS but by the company from whom we purchased the maps. The company no longer exists. We do not know the methodology used for georectification.

United Nations map (known as UNmap) is a worldwide geospatial database consisting of country and geographic name information on a global scale. The data is designed for the production of cartographic documents and maps, including their dissemination via public electronic networks, for the Secretariat of the United Nations.The United Nations maintains the Data as a courtesy to those who may choose to access the Data. The Data is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Generalization parametrisation for the data is developed based on the work of Douglas and Peucker (1973), Wang (1996) and the Polynomial Approximation with Exponential Kernel algorithm.The adequate generalized data should be used for the intended dissemination scale and not rely on software or platform-automated generalization as some specific geographic features are removed at scales. For instance, the region of Abyei is not included at the scale of 1:25 million but is included at lower scales.

Maps produced using this layer should be featured with the appropriate disclaimer depending on the shown area.

We are committed to ITLs aligning with international standards, enabling comparability both over time and internationally, and we will actively monitor global standards to ensure we are following and contributing to the development of world-class statistics. To ensure continued alignment between UK official statistics and international standards, the ITLs will be established as a mirror to the pre-existing NUTS system and will follow a similar timetable to the review of the NUTS system, meaning ITLs will be reviewed every 3 years. New official GSS codes will be developed for the ITL geography aligned with existing NUTS codes. Statistical users are encouraged to adopt the ITL geography from 1 January 2021 as a replacement to NUTS.

The project uses a machine learning approach to image classification, developed under the Defra Living Maps project (SD1705 – Kilcoyne et al., 2017). The method first clusters homogeneous areas of habitat into segments, then assigns each segment to a defined list of habitat classes using Random Forest (a machine learning algorithm). The habitat probability map displays modelled likely broad habitat classifications, trained on field surveys and earth observation data from 2021 as well as historic data layers. This map is an output from Phase IV of the Living England project, with future work in Phase V (2022-23) intending to standardise the methodology and Phase VI (2023-24) to implement the agreed standardised methods.The Living England habitat probability map will provide high-accuracy, spatially consistent data for a range of Defra policy delivery needs (e.g. 25YEP indicators and Environment Bill target reporting Natural capital accounting, Nature Strategy, ELM) as well as external users. As a probability map, it allows the extrapolation of data to areas that we do not have data. These data will also support better local and national decision making, policy development and evaluation, especially in areas where other forms of evidence are unavailable. Process Description: A number of data layers are used to inform the model to provide a habitat probability map of England. The main sources layers are Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-1 satellite data from the ESA Copericus programme.

A series of approximately 3250 navigational charts covering the world. The series is maintained by Admiralty Notices to Mariners issued every week. New editions or new charts are published as required. Two thirds of the series are now available in metric units.

In areas where the United Kingdom is, or until recently has been, the responsible hydrographic authority - i.e. Home Waters, some Commonwealth countries, British colonies, and certain areas like the Gulf, Red Sea and parts of the eastern Mediterranean - the Admiralty charts afford detailed cover of all waters, ports and harbours. These make up about 30 per cent of the total series. Modern charts in these areas usually have a source data diagram showing the sources from which the chart was compiled. The quantity and quality of the sources vary due to age and the part of the world the chart depicts. The other 70 per cent are derived from information on foreign charts, and the Admiralty versions are designed to provide charts for ocean passage and landfall, and approach and entry to the major ports.

The series contains charts on many different scales, but can be divided very broadly as follows:

Route planning 1:10 million Ocean planning 1:3.5 million Coast approach or landfall identification 1:1 million Coasting 1:300,000 to 1:200,000 Intricate or congested coastal waters 1:150,000 to 1:75,000 Port approach 1:50,000 or larger Terminal installation 1:12,500 or larger

Charts on scales smaller than 1:50,000, except in polar regions, are on Mercator projection. Since 1978 all charts on 1:50,000 and larger have been produced on Transverse Mercator projection. Prior to 1978 larger scale charts were on a modified polyconic projection referred to as 'gnomonic', not to be confused with the true Gnomonic projection.

Most of the detail shown on a chart consists of hydrographic information - soundings (selected spot depths) in metres (on older charts in fathoms or feet) reduced to a stated vertical datum; depth contours; dredged channels; and the nature of the seabed and foreshore. Features which present hazards to navigation, fishing and other marine operations are also shown. These include underwater rocks and reefs; wrecks and obstructions; submarine cables and pipelines and offshore installations. Shallow water areas are usually highlighted with pale blue tint(s). Also shown are aids established to assist the navigator - buoys, beacons, lights, fog signals and radio position finding and reporting services; and information about traffic separation schemes, anchorages, tides, tidal streams and magnetic variation. Outline coastal topography is shown especially objects of use as fixing marks. As a base for navigation the chart carries compass roses, scales, horizontal datum information, graduation (and sometimes land map grids), conversion tables and tables of tidal and tidal stream rates.

The Bing Maps aerial imagery web mapping service offers worldwide orthographic aerial and satellite imagery with roads and labels overlaid. Coverage varies by region, with the most detailed coverage in the USA and United Kingdom. Coverage in different areas within a country also varies in detail based on the availability of imagery for that region. Bing Maps is continuously adding imagery in new areas and updating coverage in areas of existing coverage. This map does not include bird's eye imagery. Monthly updates of imagery coverage are available on the Bing Community blog.See Bing Maps (http://www.bing.com/maps) for more information about the Bing Maps mapping system, terms of use, and a complete list of data suppliers.

This data results from the NRSC's ongoing 1:25000 UK Aerial Photography Programme; a project designed to maintain an up to date aerial coverage of the United Kingdom, covering the complete area at least every 5 years.

These vertical aerial photographs are taken with a large camera mounted in the floor of an aeroplane flying in a series of pre-planned flight lines. The images overlap by 60% along the flight line to allow for stereoscopic (3D) viewing. There is a 25% overlap between flight lines.

In addition to their prime application in photogrammetric mapping (from updating and contouring existing maps to preparing large scale engineering plans), air photos are used for environmental studies, general planning, land use and land capability, soils, pollution, forestry, mining and quarrying, housing and leisure development, agriculture, geology, water, transport and civil engineering, boundary disputes, public enquiries, etc.

The data is stored mainly as colour photographic negatives and can be supplied as both digital and photographic products (positive or negative). To find out what imagery is available for a specific area, a cover search can be performed free of charge.

The map is designed to be used as a basemap by marine GIS professionals and as a reference map by anyone interested in ocean data. The basemap focuses on bathymetry. It also includes inland waters and roads, overlaid on land cover and shaded relief imagery.The Ocean Base map currently provides coverage for the world down to a scale of ~1:577k; coverage down to ~1:72k in United States coastal areas and various other areas; and coverage down to ~1:9k in limited regional areas.The World Ocean Reference is designed to be drawn on top of this map and provides selected city labels throughout the world. This web map lets you view the World Ocean Base with the Reference service drawn on top. Article in the Fall 2011 ArcUser about this basemap: "A Foundation for Ocean GIS".The map was compiled from a variety of best available sources from several data providers, including General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans GEBCO_08 Grid version 20100927 and IHO-IOC GEBCO Gazetteer of Undersea Feature Names August 2010 version (https://www.gebco.net), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Geographic for the oceans; and Garmin, and Esri for topographic content. You can contribute your bathymetric data to this service and have it served by Esri for the benefit of the Ocean GIS community. For details on the users who contributed bathymetric data for this map via the Community Maps Program, view the list of Contributors for the Ocean Basemap. The basemap was designed and developed by Esri. The GEBCO_08 Grid is largely based on a database of ship-track soundings with interpolation between soundings guided by satellite-derived gravity data. In some areas, data from existing grids are included. The GEBCO_08 Grid does not contain detailed information in shallower water areas, information concerning the generation of the grid can be found on GEBCO's website: https://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_data/. The GEBCO_08 Grid is accompanied by a Source Identifier (SID) Grid which indicates which cells in the GEBCO_08 Grid are based on soundings or existing grids and which have been interpolated. The latest version of both grids and accompanying documentation is available to download, on behalf of GEBCO, from the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) https://www.bodc.ac.uk/data/online_delivery/gebco/.The names of the IHO (International Hydrographic Organization), IOC (intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission), GEBCO (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans), NERC (Natural Environment Research Council) or BODC (British Oceanographic Data Centre) may not be used in any way to imply, directly or otherwise, endorsement or support of either the Licensee or their mapping system.Tip: Here are some famous oceanic locations as they appear this map.

As of March 2025, there were a reported 5,426 data centers in the United States, the most of any country worldwide. A further 529 were located in Germany, while 523 were located in the United Kingdom. What is a data center? A data center is a network of computing and storage resources that enables the delivery of shared software applications and data. These facilities can house large amounts of critical and important data, and therefore are vital to the daily functions of companies and consumers alike. As a result, whether it is a cloud, colocation, or managed service, data center real estate will have increasing importance worldwide. Hyperscale data centers In the past, data centers were highly controlled physical infrastructures, but the cloud has since changed that model. A cloud data service is a remote version of a data center – located somewhere away from a company's physical premises. Cloud IT infrastructure spending has grown and is forecast to rise further in the coming years. The evolution of technology, along with the rapid growth in demand for data across the globe, is largely driven by the leading hyperscale data center providers.
