Cool. Thanks for the suggestions all.

Re: [R-sig-Geo] GLOBE DEM in R?

[Hollister, Jeff]

Andy,

I have been working on a package for accessing elevation data, elevatr.  It is 
not yet on CRAN, but you can get the current version at 
https://github.com/jhollist/elevatr.  

For points it is currently using the USGS EPQS and Mapzen's Elevation Service.  
The Mapzen elevation service does have global coverage and pulls from a variety 
of sources.  For higher latitudes it is using GMTED.

You'll probably run into service limits.  I'm hoping to add some functionality 
that will conform to Mapzen's limits, but that hasn't been done yet...

Any questions or comments about the package, let me know.

Cheers,
Jeff

Is the GLOBE DEM accessible in R via a package? I usually use raster::getData() 
when I need elev data but I need to sample a SPDF of a few thousand points with 
latitudes higher than the SRTM covers. Thoughts appreciated.

Hi,

You might give the Natural Earth topography a shake...

https://github.com/BigelowLab/nearth

I don't know how it compares to the ETOPO datasets.

Cheers,
Ben
