      <gmd:abstract>
        <gco:CharacterString>&lt;p&gt;The Global Ensemble Digital Terrain Model (GEDTM30) is a globally consistent, 30m resolution DTM created using a machine learning-based data fusion approach. It combines multiple global elevation datasets including Copernicus DEM, ALOS World 3D, and object height models, and refines them using nearly 30 billion high-quality ground elevation points from ICESat-2 and GEDI. A two-stage random forest model ensures both global coherence and local accuracy, producing a bare-earth terrain model that minimizes the effects of vegetation, buildings, and DEM artifacts.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; For more details on this project see the following resources: &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://zenodo.org/records/18887460&apos; target=&apos;_blank&apos;&gt;GEDTM30 Zenodo Repository&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://codeberg.org/openlandmap/GEDTM30&apos; target=&apos;_blank&apos;&gt;GEDTM30 Codeberg Repository&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;https://peerj.com/articles/19673/&apos; target=&apos;_blank&apos;&gt;GEDTM30 Publication&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Disclaimer: This data product was generated using machine learning methods.
