FABDEM v1.0 referenced to mean sea level (MDT HYBRID-CNES-CLS2022)

The impacts of sea-level rise and other hazards on the world's coasts are determined by coastal sea-level height and land elevation. Their correct alignment is crucial for reliable impact assessments. However, we found that over 99% of the evaluated assessments handled sea-level and land elevation data inadequately and substantially misjudged sea level relative to coastal elevation. To facilitate proper, future (re)assessments of coastal hazard impacts, we provide several state-of-the-art and ready-to-use global Digital Elevation Models (DEM) properly converted to latest coastal sea-level height for a 500km-wide coastal zone. This dataset is one of those.
