Twin figures for the central Apennines: L'Aquila, Amatrice and Norcia, counted from its layers at their stated dates.
For Department of Geospatial and Risk Data Science: the faculty's twin of L'Aquila on the planet map, the globe and in 3D. Pick a generator, switch layers, run the instruments; every layer prints its provider and date.
Drag to move, right drag or Shift with a drag to turn and tilt, Ctrl with the wheel to zoom. Keyboard: arrows move, Shift with arrows turn and tilt, + and - zoom, 0 resets, V steps through the views, Escape clears.
Flat plan of the same data: relief, the three reference epicentres with magnitude and depth, and the numbers below; the sampler's figure shows one precomputed field with its parameters. The 3D twin opens on devices with WebGL once its data and library have been checked.
The map loads from this site as it nears the view (MapLibre 6.9.1, checked by hash).
The department teaches GIS and remote sensing on the Copernicus elevation model and the USGS products of the Apennine twin, exposure mapping and accuracy assessment, GeoAI with its validation, provenance and lineage under W3C PROV-O, licensing and metadata under ISO 19115-1, data rights and open data, and the risk information standards (persistent identifiers, metadata profiles such as STAC and DCAT, conformance checks) with the Nexus Standards as the worked example. A graduate can build and validate a spatial layer, record its provenance and licence, and publish it so that others can find, cite and check it.
Department of Geospatial and Risk Data Science is a department of Faculty of Risk Science and Methods with 3 disciplines. 1 of the 4 courses with their primary discipline here are open for enrolment now; 3 are in preparation.
A mark is one primary course, filled when it is open.
