Psiloritis Geopark: connected digital presentations

Project resources

Project details

Period
2018–2022

My work on digital presentations of Psiloritis Geopark combines written material, field photography, maps, panoramas and geographic data. Developed through the Natural History Museum of Crete at the University of Crete, it includes several related stages of work from 2018 to 2022.

Storymaps: Nida and the churches of Amari

The bilingual WordPress website brings descriptions and multimedia together around particular places and subjects. Its presentations of Nida plateau and the old churches of Amari connect written accounts, maps, photographs and panoramic views. The website also included a directory of affiliated businesses.

Vosakos geotrail

The Vosakos presentation connects a trail map, an elevation profile, photographs, panoramas, video and a 3D model of the folds. I connected the written sections to the relevant parts of the route so that the reader can follow the explanation in its geographic context.

The geographic information was stored in PostgreSQL/PostGIS and presented through a Leaflet map, alongside a Pano2VR panoramic tour. The 3D model of the folds was produced from a lidar scan and included in the presentation.

Earlier mapping and photogrammetry

Earlier stages used ArcGIS presentations and 3D web scenes for the geopark and Mygia’s geotrail near Anogia. Drone photographs of the Mygia area were processed into an orthophoto mosaic and a digital surface model, then combined with the route’s geographic information and panoramas.
