Terrain Elevation Data Access and Tools

NASA's data include global radar measurements from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission and ongoing interferograms generated from European Sentinel-1 satellite scans. Our datasets and tools help researchers translate these interconnected data points into actionable knowledge.
