Mission
To reduce hunger and poverty, and improve human nutrition in the tropics through research aimed at increasing the eco-efficiency of agriculture.
People
CIAT’s staff includes about 200 scientists. Supported by a wide array of donors, the Center collaborates with hundreds of partners to conduct high-quality research and translate the results into development impact. A Board of Trustees provides oversight of CIAT’s research and financial management.

An evaluation of the accuracy of DEM-derived altitude and slope values
This project was set up to investigate the level of accuracy which can be expected for slope and altitude values derived from low-cost Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). Eight gridded DEMs were generated from digitized contour maps at a range of scales:1:10,000 1:25,000 1:100,000 1:200,000 - and using a range of contour intervals 25m, 50m and 100m. A Control DEM was then produced using large scale aerial photographs (1:28,000) which were registered for auto-extraction of z-values using Helava software and accuracy tested using 91 differentially measured GPS ground control points.
