Having undertaken extensive validation, published in Environmental Research Letters, the data was shown to be more accurate than other available global DEMs. This data is ideal for professionals needing to understand flood risk on a global scale or in data-scarce regions of the world. Built in tandem with the University of Bristol, the data is available at 1 arc-second grid spacing (approximately 30m at the equator) across the globe. This has resulted in an improved dataset where users can model natural hazards globally with more detail than ever before. The data uses a correction algorithm to remove biases within the Copernicus GLO 30 Digital Surface Model (DSM) arising from the presence of objects on the earth’s surface. FABDEM (Forest And Buildings removed Copernicus DEM) is the first global digital elevation model (DEM) with forests and buildings removed at a 30-meter resolution.
