The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) domain includes the tidally influenced Conwy estuary, downstream of the Cwmlanerch river gauge on the River Conwy and extending offshore into Conwy Bay and the Menai Strait at the coastal boundary. A number of sources were combined to generate the land elevation data, including (a) seabed bathymetry, (b) land elevations and (c) location and heights of existing flood defences. The domain topography was based on the marine DEM, Lidar Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and Ordnance Survey Terrain 5m DTM. The Lidar DTM data was used to check and, where necessary, augment the flood defences vector database.

This dataset consists of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the surface elevation of Thwaites Glacier. The region covered includes the floating area of the fast-flowing main trunk of Thwaites Glacier, sometimes referred to as Thwaites West Ice Tongue. The DEMs are derived from TanDEM-X SAR data. There are 172 individual scenes that reveal the geometric evolution of this area between 2011 and 2022. This work was supported by the NERC project CALISMO NE/P011365/1.
