EuroDEM

EuroDEM (digital elevation model) describes the distribution of terrain or 'bare earth' heights, not including 'first surface' elevations such as vegetation and man-made structures. It is ideal for environmental change research, hydrologic modelling, resource monitoring, monitoring mapping and visualisation.

Applications

Geospatial elevation data is used by the scientific and resource management communities, amongst others, for applications such as environmental change research, hydrologic modelling, resource monitoring, mapping and visualisation. EuroDEM can be used directly in numerous GIS applications, some examples of which include:

Ortho-rectification of imagery
Flood modelling / watershed analysis
Modelling water flow or mass movement
Extracting terrain parameters
Rendering of three-dimensional visualisations
Topographic mapping / physical models / creation of relief maps
Vehicle navigation / intelligent vehicle systems
Precision farming / forestry
Flight simulation / in-cockpit situational awareness
Terrain analyses in geomorphology and physical geography
Impact studies and geological structure studies
Design and engineering of mobile telephone networks
Planning road and railway networks
