GIS Platform (WebGIS/Interactive maps)

GIS Platform - First Stage (D2.1)

The First Stage GeoAtlant-AI&BI GIS platform is a interactive map that brings together geospatial information for the Azores. Its first public version allows exploration of the a selection of protected-area layers. The two project data inventories are available for downloadby clicking the box below.

The QGIS project is being expanded into thematic groups covering water and hydrography; ecology and conservation; land use and land cover, including the 2018 Azores Land Cover Map and Forest Inventory; and geology and natural hazards. A Sentinel-2 satellite image is also being tested as an alternative basemap.

These additions will appear in the public map progressively, after checks of geographic coverage, visual presentation, web performance, licences and source attribution.

Next steps - Deliverable D2.2

Building on the first-stage platform developed under D2.1, the next phase will continue the assessment and integration of priority datasets and refine the platform’s data organization, thematic visualization and documentation. Potential additions include land-use information, habitats, forest inventory, geosites, elevation and bioclimatic data, subject to availability, data quality and licensing. These themes are part of the broader WP2 platform scope.
