(b) Base mapping, including photogrammetry topographic mapping preparing terrain profiles for the design of communication systems geological structure mapping and bathymetric mapping

The scatterometer was applied for mapping snow and ice morphology over Antarctica and for soil moisture mapping over the Canadian Prairies.

So we would take the landscape and we would build up the topography.

Considerable activity was developed in Greece concerning Earth observation, in vastly different application areas such as meteorology, climatology, upper air studies, land cover land use, forest mapping, cadastral mapping, marine research etc.

Regional Centre for Services in Surveying Mapping and Remote Sensing (RCSSMRS) research, training and provision of information on natural resource and environmental data through the use of techniques such as surveying, mapping, remote sensing and geographic information systems.

The main aim of SNSB s activities in this field is to promote the use of satellite and other remote sensed data for societal applications with priority for four areas environmental monitoring, forestry, meteorology and topographic mapping.

And it uses these sensors to build a map of the environment.

Ecological monitoring, natural resources mapping, remote sensing and early warning systems

Look how beautiful it is. The drawings, the colour, the shape...

You can insert several prepared shapes, in vector format. These are editable just like lines you have drawn yourself. Using the drawing tools is described in detail in the drawing tools section.

(a) Hazards mapping (natural and man made), including volcanic and seismic hazards earthquakes tsunamis oil spills monitoring flooding vulnerability, assessment and monitoring and disaster management

The networks will incorporate specialized functions such as seabed mapping and tsunami forecasting.

Mapping by indigenous peoples as a means of clarifying land rights is also being done in other countries.

44. These projects had a training component, in the form of intensive participation by local professionals in data review and analysis, field mapping, drilling, report writing, preparation of map layouts and hazard mapping.

FAO is preparing a complete coverage of Sierra Leone with satellite image maps on the scale 1 100,000 to support the preparation of land cover maps by national experts.

The Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development used space technology for food security and environmental monitoring flood modelling and prediction modelling and prediction of diseases such as Rift Valley fever and HIV AIDS land degradation mapping and monitoring and monitoring urban sprawl.

(e) To promote the use of geographical information systems for modern surveying and mapping activities at the national and local levels.

(d) Marine and meteorology, including sea surface temperature mapping ocean wastes mapping coastal management (especially erosion assessment of coral reefs) wave height assessment forecasting of wave conditions on shipping routes fisheries (with emphasis on mapping of coastal habitats and location of fishing grounds) tides and currents (patterns, measurements and observations) and wind speed

(b) Digital terrain modelling grid generation, contour plotting, slope aspect maps, 3D visualization

It will be designed to provide high quality products to satisfy the need of the Mediterranean basin and other users for applications such as civil protection, environmental monitoring, disaster monitoring, agricultural monitoring, cartography and mapping, urban monitoring, coastal monitoring and hydrological resources monitoring.

The Internet is transforming the way maps are made, enabling ordinary people dubbed citizen cartographers to work alongside intrepid adventurers and professional geographers. These cartographers whose only common characteristic is Internet access are embracing the opportunity to depict the places that they know and love, whether to help their neighbors get around or to give faraway people a glimpse of their local environments.

A third mission, called SRTM, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, for topographical mapping is planned for September 1999.

Land use mapping has been performed on a scale of 1 100,000 using aerial photography and satellite data, mainly provided by the Indian remote sensing satellite (IRS), the United States Landsat Thematic Mapper and the French Satellite pour l apos observation de la Terre (SPOT) (Earth observation satellite).

Preparation of new maps

Forest applications include forest area estimation and mapping, forest monitoring, forest fire assessment and forest management.
