                         methodology that allows to conflate existing Digital Elevation 
                         Models with a sample set of elevation points in order to obtain 
                         more accurate results on modeling elevation information. The set 
                         of elevation points has higher vertical accuracy than the DEM and 
                         it is used the geostatistical procedure, known as kriging with an 
                         external drift, to perform the conflation. An initial case study 
                         is presented integrating a Shuttle Radar Topography Mission - SRTM 
                         - data and a sample set of elevation points obtained from a region 
                         of Campinas, city of S{\~a}o Paulo in Brazil. Others procedures 
                         of estimations and simulations will be considered in the future to 
                         explore the potential of the conflation techniques using 
                         geostatistics.",
