    Description:
      Abstract: This GIS dataset contains the hillshade derived from the processed Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) data (30 m resolution) for the Ahankashan area of interest (AOI).
      Purpose: Multi-use elevation dataset to be used in the assessment, monitoring, and management of Afghanistan's mineral deposits.
