This dataset is part of the OzTreeMap project and provides two new 30 m spatial resolution canopy height products for continental Australia: the best-pick canopy height model (pick-CHM) and the median canopy height model (med-CHM). Both products represent estimates of vegetation canopy height across Australia and were developed to improve the accuracy and consistency of existing large-scale canopy height models, which were generated by researchers to represent canopy heights from variable time periods ranging from 2007 until 2020. The best-pick and median products are composites and derive from an extensive validation of the 4 original CHMs.

Each product is provided as a single-band GeoTIFF raster in the Australian Albers (EPSG:3577) coordinate reference system, with 30 m spatial resolution and float32 data type. These datasets support applications in forest structure monitoring, carbon accounting, and ecosystem assessment across Australia.
