The Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) announces the release of the ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) Explorer tool (DEMEX). This tool can be used to browse and download ASTER GDEM data based on geographic areas of interest or predefined regions, including state, province, and county (for the United States). Data output from DEMEX is available in GeoTIFF or ArcASCII format. DEMEX is the result of collaboration between the LP DAAC and George Mason University's Center for Spatial Information Science and Systems.
