# elevatr
An R package for accessing elevation data from various sources

The `elevatr` package currently provides access to elevation data from AWS Open Data [Terrain Tiles](https://registry.opendata.aws/terrain-tiles/) and the Open Topography [Global datasets API](https://opentopography.org/developers#API) for raster digital elevation models.

Additional elevation data sources may be added as they come available.
