# Earth2014



License: MIT














Download topographic data for the globe.

### Usage

```julia
julia> using Earth2014

julia> x, y, z = Earth2014.load() # or Earth.load(res="1min"), default is "5min"
```

This will download the data via Datadeps.jl only once and make it available for future use.

Then you can use it for your research, or just plot it for example:

```julia
julia> using Plots

julia> heatmap(x, y, z, clim=maximum(abs.(z)).*(-1,1), color=:topo)
```

which should show something like

5min-resolution global relief plot
