Ortho photo in GIS

GIS can show Ortho photo in a Geographical Information System

Example from Klim

Ortho photo with GIS analysis by students

A GIS project can visualize the collected data in a map

On top of an Ortho photo the students may draw the outlines of a building and add new information about every location.

by the students is shown here

Wells and polluted areas – using ”Intersect” The Municipality of Aarhus

Environmental pollution at Mundelstrup

The 1980s: 20 sites were depolluted. Toxic soil was removed and new soil put on (20 million DKK)

Map of the fertilizer factory - the source of pollution

Fertilizer factory (1888-1924) Map from about 1900

Field-based GIS

iPAQ og ArcPad used to collect and store data from the satellites

The data were used in the GIS programs.

Web-based GIS with local data

Digital Atlas – Local area: Students often quickly realize the possibilities in GIS
