<div>The Drainage Catchment Digital Elevation Model (DEM) collection includes DEMs created by Geoscience Australia using open elevation data sourced from the Elvis Elevation and Depth system. The drainage catchment DEMs provide a regional product filling the gap between localised high resolution tiled data and the national low resolution mosaic provided by the 1-second Shutte Radar Topographic Mission dataset. The drainage catchment DEMs fill a critical gap, providing data to support efficient planning, research and decision-making by government, industry, and research communities. DEMs for available drainage catchments are delivered as a mosaicked product in raster format. Metadata for each drainage catchment is supplied in word document and shapefile format. The shapefile enables users to inspect metadata in a Geographic Information System.</div><div><br></div><div>Value: Data used at regional scales to represent and provide understanding of ground surface topography. Supply of models as a single file allows easier use and wider uptake, for example in assessments of water movement through the landscape or the potential movements of fires. Provide access to all Drainage Catchment Digital Elevation Models through a single record.</div>

<div>Intertidal environments contain many important ecological habitats such as sandy beaches, tidal flats, rocky shores, and reefs. These environments also provide many valuable benefits such as storm surge protection, carbon storage, and natural resources. </div><div> </div><div>Intertidal zones are being increasingly faced with threats including coastal erosion, land reclamation (e.g. port construction), and sea level rise. These regions are often highly dynamic, and accurate, up-to-date elevation data describing the changing topography and extent of these environments is needed. However, this data is expensive and challenging to map across the entire intertidal zone of a continent the size of Australia. </div><div> </div><div>The intertidal zone also forms a critical habitat and foraging ground for migratory shore birds and other species. An improved characterisation of the exposure patterns of these dynamic environments is important to support conservation efforts and to gain a better understanding of migratory species pathways. </div><div> </div><div>The <strong>DEA Intertidal </strong>product suite (https://knowledge.dea.ga.gov.au/data/product/dea-intertidal) provides annual continental -scale elevation and exposure products for Australia’s intertidal zone, mapped at a 10m resolution, from Digital Earth Australia’s archive of open-source Landsat and Sentinel-2 satellite data. These intertidal products enable users to better monitor and understand some of the most dynamic regions of Australia’s coastlines.</div><div><br></div><div><strong>Applications</strong></div><div><br></div><div> - Integration with existing topographic and bathymetric data to seamlessly map the elevation of the coastal zone. </div><div> </div><div> - Providing baseline elevation data for predicting the impact of coastal hazards such as storm surges, tsunami inundation, or future sea-level rise. </div><div> </div><div> - Investigating coastal erosion and sediment transport processes. </div><div> </div><div> - Supporting habitat mapping and modelling for coastal ecosystems extending across the terrestrial to marine boundary. </div><div> </div><div> - Characterisation of the spatio-temporal exposure patterns of the intertidal zone to support migratory species studies and applications. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
