Map Data Request

For my GIS readers: I am looking for a DEM of Afghanistan (and the surrounding area, if available)--either 10M or 30M is fine. If you have any related data, I would take it too, but the DEM is the top priority. Thanks.

lol. I think there's a 100m dataset out there somewhere, but that's probably as good as you can get. Mebbe even 250.... good enough?

Tony,

This is Curtis with Looking Glass. As bob said, the publically availble data seems to be limited to 90m (3 arc sec). It can be downloaded in chunks from http://seamless.usgs.gov/. The different downloads then need to be stiched together. There will be 20 or so of them to cover the country. This is how I got the Washington 1/3 arc sec layer I use. If this data would be useful, drop me a note (you have my email) and I would be willing to create a single Afgan elevation layer for you.

Good luck!
Curtis
