DEPRECATED - National Intertidal Digital Elevation Model 25m 1.0.0

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

This record has been superseded by eCat 149403 The National Intertidal Digital Elevation Model (NIDEM) product is a continental-scale elevation dataset for Australia's exposed intertidal zone. NIDEM provides the first three-dimensional representation of Australia's intertidal zone (excluding off-shore Territories and intertidal mangroves) at 25 m spatial resolution, addressing a key gap between the availability of sub-tidal bathymetry and terrestrial elevation data. NIDEM was generated by combining global tidal modelling with a 30-year time series archive of spatially and spectrally calibrated Landsat satellite data managed within the Digital Earth Australia (DEA) platform. NIDEM complements existing intertidal extent products, and provides data to support a new suite of use cases that require a more detailed understanding of the three-dimensional topography of the intertidal zone, such as hydrodynamic modelling, coastal risk management and ecological habitat mapping.
