Subject: FYI: New topographic map of the world

An astounding new topographic map of the world is now available with imagery free to researchers<https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/11/five-years-of-observations-from-tandem-satellites-produce-3d-world-map-of-unprecedented-accuracy/>. "A pair of satellites operating in tandem for five years have produced a depth map of the planet so exact you could theoretically zoom down to street level and tell an adult from a kid, or spot a breaking wave at Malibu. The immense database - some 2.6 petabytes - is available for free to researchers."
