Research team

Introduction:

A research team of the Department of Applied Geoinformatics and Cartography and the Map Collection specializing in cartography is inherently interdisciplinary, combining expertise in geography, history, mathematics, computer science, and design. Their focus on the history of cartography delves into the evolution of mapping techniques, cultural influences, and historical artifacts, providing context for modern advancements. In thematic cartography, they create specialized maps to visualize complex data, such as demographics or environmental trends, making information accessible and actionable.

In web cartography, the team leverages internet technologies to develop interactive, user-friendly maps that are widely accessible. Their work in 3D cartography transforms traditional mapping into immersive experiences, enabling more realistic representations of terrain and spatial relationships. Mathematical cartography underpins their work, applying geometric and computational methods to solve problems related to scale, projection, and spatial analysis. Finally, digital cartography serves as the backbone of their efforts, integrating data visualization, geospatial technology, and innovative tools to push the boundaries of modern mapmaking.

This team thrives on collaboration, innovation, and the application of cutting-edge technology, bridging the past and future of cartography to address both academic and practical challenges.
