3D digital maps: New development in cartography for cultural heritage

This paper will demonstrate how new technologies in cartographic environment integrate acquisition, management and representation techniques for georefencing data processing. Moreover, there is an ever-growing demand for a more “representative” and “world widespread” digital cartography. More representative means the capabilities in describing physical phenomena but also social, economic and cu...

A Gust Changes Everything: Local Wind Information in Unprecedented Detail withWindWizard and WindNinja

Maps’ Scale in Digital Cartography

The meaning of map scale increases in the digital environment, despite the fact that the maps can be visualized in different map scales. Three kinds of map scales are examined, which are relatively independent of the maps, visualized on the display:  Scale of the map field space – the current map scale, visualized on the screen.  Scale of the map content, which defines:  Particularity of the...

Surface Temperatures at the Continental Scale: Tracking Changes with Remote Sensing at Unprecedented Detail

Temperature is a main driver for most ecological processes, and temperature time series provide key environmental indicators for various applications and research fields. High spatial and temporal resolutions are crucial for detailed analyses in various fields of research. A disadvantage of temperature data obtained by satellites is the occurrence of gaps that must be reconstructed. Here, we pr...

Effect of digital elevation model’s resolution in producing flood hazard maps

Flooding is one of the most devastating natural disasters occurring annually in the Philippines. A call for a solution for this malady is very challenging as well as crucial to be addressed. Mapping flood hazard is an effective tool in determining the extent and depth of floods associated with hazard level in specified areas that need to be prioritized during flood occurrences. Precedent to the...
