💡 Geovisualization, UAVs & VR for Coastal and Flood Risk Analysis
Excited to have participated in the 17th National Cartographic Conference – “Cartography: The Continuous Interface of Science, Technology, and Society”, held in Thessaloniki (12–14 November 2025), representing the COASTLINE project.
As part of our ongoing research on coastal change and geo-hazards, I contributed to two presentations:
📍 “Geovisualization and Virtual Reality (VR) in Analyzing Spatiotemporal Changes of the Coastline: The Case Study of Eresos, Lesvos (1945–2025)”
Authors: Anna Atzaraki, Ermioni-Irini Papadopoulou & Apostolos Papakonstantinou
➡️ Demonstrating how multi-temporal datasets, aerial photo archives, and immersive VR environments help communicate 80 years of coastal evolution to decision-makers and local communities.
📍 “Geovisualization of Flood Scenarios in the Thessalian Plain using LiDAR, UAV, and Virtual Reality”
Authors: Ermioni-Irini Papadopoulou & Apostolos Papakonstantinou
➡️ Highlighting how high-resolution LiDAR, UAV mapping, and VR simulations can support civil protection and environmental planning in highly exposed regions.
Proud to see COASTLINE strengthening links between geospatial science, resilience planning, and society — exactly in line with the conference’s theme.
Many thanks to the organizers and to my co-authors for the great collaboration. Onwards to the next steps!
