Many biochemical processes and dynamics are strongly controlled by terrain topography, making digital elevation models (DEM) a fundamental dataset for a range of applications. This study investigates the quality of four pan-Arctic DEMs (Arctic DEM, ASTER DEM, ALOS DEM and Copernicus DEM) within the...
