Possible to contour at specific z planes to give the x,y coords?

Here's a followup from a previous question... https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/596671-converting-gridded-elevation-data-and-x-y-coords-into-row-output
Given these vectors:
We are dealing with UTM coords here, and we have: Northings, Eastings, and gridded Elevation-values.
dimensions--
x is 1x30
y is 1x41
z is 41x30
and Given this code:
[X,Y]=meshgrid(x,y);%assume this is what you want
dataTemp=[X(:),Y(:),z(:)];
data = rmmissing(dataTemp)
The Followup question:
Is there a way to have contour outputs at certain z values? E.g., somehow setting z = 0 and finding all x,y coords that intersect that plane? I'm guessing there would have to be interpolation involved?

You can use contour to do this. You need to specify the level as 0 to get your coordinates (x,y) where Z = 0.
C = contour(X,Y,Z,[0 0]) ;

contour3 and provide the level list. The graphics objects that result will have ZData properties corresponding to the z level; regular contour() sets the ZData to 0. XData and YData coordinates give you the edges.
