 Hello, welcome to my YouTube channel. In today's video I'm going to show how to use the Open Topography DEM Downloader Plugin. This is a great new plugin to download all kinds of digital elevation models to QGIS. So let's go to the Plugins Manager. There we can find the Open Topography DEM Downloader Plugin. As you can see you can use that for downloading several DEM products, but you need an API key. If you click the homepage link, every plugin has a homepage link with more information about how to use the plugin, you'll find another link to go to Open Topography. In this blog you can find more information about how to obtain the API key. Basically you need to make an account and then copy the API from your account space. Under My Open Topo you can login after making an account and confirming your email address. And there you can find my Open Topo authorizations at API key. Choose Request API key. Click Request API key and copy the API key. You will need this later to use the plugin. Now install the plugin and close the dialog. The plugin has added a new button to your toolbar. If you click that button you will get the DEM Downloader dialog where you can select different DEMs to download. For example the Copernicus Global DSM 30 meters. And you can choose the extent, I choose the map extent that I've selected here. And I paste there my API key and select an output frowning. The API key will be remembered by the plugin. After running the tool your DEM will appear. As you can see it's nicely cut to the map extent which is a real advantage of this way of downloading instead of separate tiles from a website. If you want to process the DEM or visualize it it's best to project it. So I use here UTM projection. You can use a resampling method. Nearest neighbor is best for calculations but here I just want to visualize so I choose Billinear. I fix the resolution of the output to 30 meters and call the output DEM UTM. And I run the warp and they also change the projection of the project. Let's style it a bit. This is the hill shade. So change the resampling here. It looks nice and smooth. And I duplicate this layer and assign some nice colors, a nice color ramp. I use the CPT city to property elevation and I use multiply for blending and I click classify switch on the layer and now we see the hill shade nicely blended with the colors of this DEM for our area of interest. So in this video you've learned about the open topography DEM download plugin which is very useful to download all kinds of online DEMs for a specified extent to your map canvas.
