These data are digital elevation models which describe landscape topography. The data were created to support analysis of landscape change following the 7th February 2021 avalanche-debris flow in Chamoli District, Uttarakhand, India. The data were used as standalone datasets to support this analysis, but also supported numerical modelling using CAESAR-Lisflood (see data collection). The DEMs were created from CNES/Airbus Pléiades-HR stereo satellite imagery captured in along-track mode. They are a geospatial dataset created in raster (.tif) format. They are most commonly imported into GIS software, where they can be analysed or support other forms of geospatial analysis.

Provenance & quality
The DEMs were created from CNES/Airbus Pléiades-HR stereo satellite imagery captured in along-track mode on the dates provided in section 1.4 of the supporting documentation. To generate new DEMs at 2 m grid resolution we used a block matching algorithm implemented in the open-source NASA Ames Stereo Pipeline (version v2.6.2_post). We registered the new DEMs to an existing composite DEM dated to September 2015 using the demcoreg toolbox. We also clipped and re-aligned an existing post-event DEM dated 10 February 2021 to the same September 2015 DEM.
