Population density dataset

[znichollscr]

Some groups need population information apparently. From the discussion here (not public link, sorry, but all the info is now here):

• @ssmithClimate seemed to be our key contact for this. The last discussions were about contacting Bryan Jones (CUNY) and Detlef or someone about HYDE (Utrect U.).
• Then there is also the note by @vnaik60 that the SSP population projections used GPWv3, which may or may not be the same as HYDE.
• whatever dataset we end up with, we need to connect with the data provider and go through the usual process. Ideally we find the same data provider for historical and scenarios to make harmonisation easier.
