Short summary

To support the conservation of freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity, standardized and high-resolution information is key. Environment90m is a new dataset, which aggregates 104 environmental variables across the 726 million sub-catchments of the Hydrography90m river network. It includes present and future climate, land cover, soils, topography, hydrographic and streamflow information. Environment90m provides an array of opportunities for research and applications in freshwater science.
