Abstract:
This dataset has been created to support the research activities of Arizona State University researchers. The slope grid identifies the rate of maximum change in elevation value from each grid cell and is calculated in degrees. The data are derived from the 30 meter Digital Elevation Model created for the Central Arizona-Phoenix Long Term Ecological Research program (dem30_utm).
