A 2m resolution Digital Surface Model (DSM) for Scotland and Wales photogrammetrically derived from aerial photography by GetMapping and acquired by the Landmap project. The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) funded Landmap service which ran from 2001 to July 2014 collected and hosted a large amount of earth observation data for the majority of the UK, part of which was elevation data. After removal of JISC funding in 2013, the Landmap service is no longer operational, with the data now held at the NEODC. A DSM is a digital model of a terrain's surface and represents the earth's surface and includes all objects on it. When using these data please also add the following copyright statment: © GetMapping yyyy
