Dynamic gridded population data are crucial in fields such as disaster reduction, public health, urban planning, and global change studies. Despite the use of multi-source geospatial data and advanced machine learning models, current frameworks for population spatialization often struggle with spatial non-stationarity, temporal generalizability, and fine temporal resolution. To address these issues, we introduce a framework for dynamic gridded population mapping using open-source geospatial data and machine learning. The framework consists of (i) delineation of human footprint zones, (ii) construction of muliti-scale population prediction models using automated machine learning (AutoML) framework and geographical ensemble learning strategy, and (iii) hierarchical population spatial disaggregation with pycnophylactic constraint-based corrections. Employing this framework, we generated hourly time-series gridded population maps for China in 2016 with a 1-km spatial resolution. The average accuracy evaluated by root mean square deviation (RMSD) is 325, surpassing datasets like LandScan, WorldPop, GPW, and GHSL. The generated seamless maps reveal the temporal dynamic of population distribution at fine spatial scales from hourly to monthly. This framework demonstrates the potential of integrating spatial statistics, machine learning, and geospatial big data in enhancing our understanding of spatio-temporal heterogeneity in population distribution, which is essential for urban planning, environmental management, and public health.
