As part of OpenTopography’s mission to democratize access to high resolution topography and advance our understanding of Earth’s surface, vegetation, and the built environment, we are dedicated to developing and supporting educational uses of topographic data.
What is OpenTopography? OpenTopography facilitates access to topography data, tools and resources to advance our understanding of the Earth’s surface, vegetation, and built environment. We provide web-based access to high-resolution (meter to sub-meter scale), regional and global (2-90 m resolution) topography data acquired with lidar, radar ...
Datasets listed below are hosted by OpenTopography and are available in point cloud format for download and processing (e.g., creating custom DEMs). In some cases derived data products such as raster and Google Earth Image overlays are also available.
OpenTopography online training resources for self-paced learning. Curriculum for Educators. For educators, OpenTopography provides curriculum modules that include lesson outlines, sample datasets, and student activities to integrate topographic data into the classroom. Workshops & Short Courses
Overview. The Copernicus DEM is a Digital Surface Model (DSM) which represents the surface of the Earth including buildings, infrastructure and vegetation. This DSM is derived from an edited DSM named WorldDEM, where flattening of water bodies and consistent flow of rivers has been included.
