        Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data
    Description:
      Abstract: This GIS dataset includes 25 m interval elevation contours of the Obatu-Shela sub-area of the Kandahar mineral area of interest (AOI) derived from its corresponding Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) data (30 m resolution).
      Purpose: Multi-use elevation dataset to be used in the assessment, monitoring, and management of Afghanistan's mineral deposits.
