What Does DEM Stand For?
DEM stands for Digitized Elevation Models
DEM, or Digitized Elevation Models, are detailed representations of the Earth's terrain, generated using various data sources such as aerial surveys, satellite imagery, and lidar technology. These models provide three-dimensional representations of surface elevations, allowing for precise analysis of topography, hydrology, and land use. DEMs are essential tools in fields such as geography, environmental science, urban planning, and disaster management, facilitating informed decision-making and enhancing our understanding of spatial relationships in the landscape.
