| Lineage | The digital elevation model was created in QGIS using points derived from hipsometric contour lines with 1 m vertical resolution. The contour lines were provided with the Terrestrial Habitat Map project (Wood, K., Brunnick, B., Harzen, S., Weinberg, P., & Kissinger, P. (2010). Turks and Caicos Islands Terrestrial Habitat Mapping Project). The Digital Elevation Model is accurate in areas above 1 m a.s.l. however, it is considered biased in flat tidal areas below 1 m a.s.l. due to insufficient number of control points. |
