       *******DEM data over Eastern Europe.********


Here is a summary of the info I received concerning DEM data over Eastern
Europe etc.
I work myself with two areas in Czechoslovakia (Krusne Hory and Sumava mts)
and have generated some DEMs over small parts of these areas. Please contact
if you more detailed info is needed.

I'll be at COmplex Sysytems research Center, UNH, New HAmpshire from
Sept 1 - 92 - march 1 - 93

     I have seen your posting in GIS-L about digital data on East-Central
Europe. I would be most grateful if you could post me the results of your
query. I am searching myself (thus far only in UK) for DEM's and any other
digital data available from public or commercial sources on East-Central Europe.
As far as I know there is not very much available but perhaps you will have a
better luck.
     By the way of introduction, I am a lecturer at the Department of
Geographical Sciences at the University of Plymouth, UK. I am starting a project
'Glaciotectonic Database for Northern and Eastern Europe'. Our main software
here is ARC/INFO both on DOS and SunOS platforms.
     Many thanks in anticipation of your help.

  Our folks at the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies (CEPS) here at SI are
 working with a couple of Czechoslovakians on an acid rain-deforestation study
 of their country.  They are using ERDAS software to analyze the landscape with
 Landsat MSS and TM data and digital terrain model data from DMA.  The software
 is running on a Sun Sparc station.  The Czechoslovakian contacts at CEPS are
 Vladimir Henzlik (forester) (here til the end of September) and Martin Simi (a
 physical geographer) (arriving in September).  CEPS staff working with them
 include Tom Watters (chair of CEPS) and Mike Tuttle.  They can all be reached
 at (202) 357-1457 or by writing CEPS, Mail Stop 315, NASM, Smithsonian Inst.,

Hi Jonas,

this is a late reply to your posting in GIS-L. DEM's in Germany are not
public domain. They are very expensive. Different resolutions and
quality (due to the production of the DEM) exist in each
german Bundesland (state). There is one DEM of Germany available
from a commercial site, which is rather expensive (several 100K as far as
I know). If you'd like to have more detailed information, please let
me know. I can provide you addresses of the german ordnance surveys
(there is no federal ordnance survey) etc.
Sincerely yours

        Reply to:   historical data? (Europe)
Does anyone out there know of a source for digital spatial data on the changing
national boundaries of the world, or of Europe in particular, over the last
several centuries?  We need to know what is available to build a historical
cartographic database.  Are any bits and pieces of this kind of data available?

I have heard that PC Globe may contain some of the information, but I don't
know anything about this product.

Thanks in advance for your help.  I will summarize and post to the list.

1) Situation data:
State Survey of Lower Saxony (Hannover) is releasing digital data sets
of so-called DLM-25/1 for sale:

   area < 1000 qkm        100.- DM/qkm
   area <10000 qkm         80.- DM/qkm
   area >10000 qkm         60.- DM/qkm      (dated: 4/91)

DLM:= Digital Landscape Model 1:25 000 (level 1)

2) Elevation data:
State Survey of Rheinland-Pfalz (Koblenz) releases DEM's with 40m resolution
for sale:

   area = 10 qkm          100.- DM

Accuracy is +- 2 meters, other resolutions are available.

It w'd be nice to sumarize an up-to-date table worldwide so it could be used
for lecturing overviews!
