Digital Elevation Model Intercomparison eXperiment (DEMIX) working group

Published: Aug 19, 2021 by ISG Board

The Digital Elevation Model Intercomparison eXperiment (DEMIX) working group is working to standardize DEM terminology, and evaluate the available global 1 arc second DEMs. They published a paper setting out their goals this summer.
