AV.MAP: Community based Tourism und Trekkingskarten am Mount Kenya (AV.MAP: Community based Tourism and Trekking Maps at Mount Kenya)
The research project
With the help of the creation of a topographic map of Mt. Kenya, innovative methods of high mountain cartography are developed and made usable for the Austrian Alpine Club. In the project, an extra-alpine (Mt. Kenya) and an alpine (Stubai Alps) hiking map are derived from high-resolution Pléiades satellite data, and non-derivative information is collected in the field (Tyrol and Kenya). The production of the two maps will be integrated as part of the current redesign of cartography at the Austrian Alpine Association (OeAV).
