Cartography

Cartography are the output of regular project work as well as other activities involving, for example, Environmental Trends Analysis (ETA) and GIS. Thus, while cartography is part of Supras’ project work, it is nonetheless presented separately. Maps and satellite images prepared in connection with Supras’ work are listed below. This includes satellite images that are purchased in connection with work and specific purpose maps that are prepared, based on satellite images or topographical maps. Maps are also prepared in connection with research. If nothing else is mentioned the maps are prepared and/or processed by Supras.
