This service represents a combination of two data products, the DEM_SRTM_1Second dataset and the Australian_Bathymetry_Topography dataset. This service was created to support the CO2SAP (Co2 Storage application) Project to create a transect elevation graph within the application. This data is not available as a dataset for download as a Geoscience Australia product. The DEM_SRTM_1Second service represents the National Digital Elevation Model (DEM) 1 Second product derived from the National DEM SRTM 1 Second. The DEM represents ground surface topography, with vegetation features removed using an automatic process supported by several vegetation maps. eCat record 72759. The Australian_Bathymetry_Topography service describes the bathymetry dataset of the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone and beyond. Bathymetry data was compiled by Geoscience Australia from multibeam and single beam data (derived from multiple sources), Australian Hydrographic Service (AHS) Laser Airborne Depth Sounding (LADS) data, Royal Australian Navy (RAN) fairsheets, the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) bathymetric model, the 2 arc minute ETOPO (Smith and Sandwell, 1997) and 1 arc minute ETOPO satellite derived bathymetry (Amante and Eakins, 2008). Topographic data (onshore data) is based on the revised Australian 0.0025dd topography grid (Geoscience Australia, 2008), the 0.0025dd New Zealand topography grid (Geographx, 2008) and the 90m SRTM DEM (Jarvis et al, 2008). eCat record 67703. IMPORTANT INFORMATION For data within this service that lays out of the Australian boundary the following needs to be considered. This grid is not suitable for use as an aid to navigation, or to replace any products produced by the Australian Hydrographic Service. Geoscience Australia produces the 0.0025dd bathymetric grid of Australia specifically to provide regional and local broad scale context for scientific and industry projects, and public education. The 0.0025dd grid size is, in many regions of this grid, far in excess of the optimal grid size for some of the input data used. On parts of the continental shelf it may be possible to produce grids at higher resolution, especially where LADS or multibeam surveys exist. However these surveys typically only cover small areas and hence do not warrant the production of a regional scale grid at less than 0.0025dd. There are a number of bathymetric datasets that have not been included in this grid for various reasons.

South East Queensand (SEQ) 2009 LiDAR data was funded by Queensland Department of Environment and Resource management (DERM) , which was captured and delivered by AAMHatch between March 25th 2009 and June 9th 2009. The project area covering 5300 sqkm was divided into three sub areas, namely South East Queensland Priority Area, Gold Coast and the Balance of SEQ. Data acquisition and post-processing has been controlled to achieve a vertical accuracy witihn 0.15m (RMS, 68% CI) and horizontal accuracy within 0.45 m. Horizontal coordinates are based upon Map Grid of Australia (MGA) Zone 56 projection. Vertical coordinates are referenced to Australian Height Datum (AHD). The data was captured with point density of 2.5 points per square metre and the data is available as mass point files (ASCII, LAS) and ESRI GRID files with 1m grid spacing in 1km tiles and inundation contours (0.25m). A hydrologically conditioned and drainage enforced 2m DEM or HDEM has also been developed in 2010 as part of the Urban DEM project managed by the CRC for Spatial Information and Geoscience Australia. The HDEM was produced by SKM using the ANUDEM program. Hydrologic enforcement and conditioning has included the testing of data for sinks, the referencing of transport and hydrology vector layers for intersections and flow, and the use of high-resolution imagery for visual validation. The methodology for hydrologic enforcement has required deriving a stream network based on flow direction and accumulation, using TIN and ANUDEM processes to analyse sinks and artificial damming affects caused by objects such as roads, bridges and trees which have not been previously filtered. Break lines have been included via the insertion of culvert/drainage channels, which has been used to interpolate these features into the main DEM as descending grid values. All data are referenced to GDA94/MGA Zone 56.

The Adelaide 2009 LiDAR data was captured over the Adelaide coastal metropolitan area between 13th and 19th of September 2008. Some data were re-flown on the 5th of January 2009 due to instrument errors and data gaps. The data were acquired by AAMHatch (now AAMGroup), and purchased by the Commonwealth Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency under licence for use by Commonwealth, State and Local Government organisations. The data was captured with a point density of 0.8 points per square metre. Overall vertical accuracy has been confirmed at <15cm (68% confidence level). The data are available as mass point files (LAS) comprising ground, thinned ground and non ground points in 2km tiles in addition to a gridded DEM and hydrologically enforced DEM or HDEM. The hydrologically conditioned and drainage enforced 2m DEM or HDEM was developed in 2010 as part of the Urban DEM project managed by the CRC for Spatial Information and Geoscience Australia. The HDEM was produced by SKM using the ANUDEM program. The HDEM ensures that primary stream/channel flow, and water flow across the land surface are accurately represented. The hydrologically enforced elevation model should be used for hydrological modelling.

The Kurnell 2008 LiDAR Survey was captured over Kurnell Peninsula (south of Sydney) on 8 December 2008. The source data was captured by AAM Hatch and funded by New South Wales, Department, Land & Property Management and made available under licence for use by Commonwealth, State and Local Commonwealth Government. The vertical accuracy is 0.15m at 1 sigma in open clear ground as specified in the project scope and 0.3m in the horizontal. All data are referenced to GDA94/MGA Zone 56 and AHD. The source data are available as mass points (ASCII XYZ, LAS) and Gridded 1m DEM tiles or 1m or 10m mosaic. A hydrologically enforced elevation model is available for this product, which should be used for any water modelling. Sydney Hydrological Enforced DEM (HDEM) 2007-2008 is a combination of this dataset and the 2007 & 2008 Sydney LiDAR datasets adn should be used for hyrological modelling.

These datasets cover approximately 1450 sq km along the eastern boundary of the Whitsunday Regional Council and are part of the 2009 North Queensland LiDAR capture project. This project, undertaken by Photomapping Services on behalf of the Queensland Government captured highly accurate elevation data using LiDAR technology. Available dataset formats (in 1 kilometre tiles) are: - Classified las (LiDAR Data Exchange Format where strikes are classified as ground, vegetation or building) - 1 metre Digital Elevation Model (DEM) in ASCII xyz - 0.25 metre contours in ESRI Shape
