Hi geophiles, Anyone know of DEM (elevation grid) data in an R package? I know there is some bathymetry data in PBSmapping, but I am interested in the land surface.
Generally, how far is it sensible to go in packaging geographic data for R? It seems inappropriate for a package to be larger than about 25MB (the size of 'mapdata' package). But if we are to go beyond coastlines, cities and a few rivers, I would like to see topographic data available.
