Description
The GeoCartographic Laboratory (Laboratorio GeoCartografico - GeoLab) is composed by GeoMapDatLab and Studio informatico. The GeoMapDatLab is the place where the combination of a series of hardware devices in virtual server and storage data mode is physically located and conceptually managed. The installed service applications are open source softwares that range from CMS (Content Management System) content management systems to more specific systems, such as GeoServer, for the management of geographic information with orderly collection and network data distribution functions, both for spatial georeferenced vector and raster data. The Studio informatico (IT office) is the core of the laboratory's didactical and research activities. It is a structure equipped with hardware and software components for the study and implementation of GIS (Geographical Information Systems) applications for conducting methodological and applicative didactical activities and punctual and interdisciplinary researches and analysis.
Many research activities are conducted in the GeoCartographic Laboratory, regarding: research financed projects; geospatial and multitemporal analysis; elaboration of models and 3D applications in GIS environment; test of specific tools and funcionalities for detailed and interdisciplinary analysis; support to other research structures; participation to call and announcemet opportunities for different kind of projects, generally in collaboration with the Geographical degree courses of the Department.
Among Innovation activities it is worthy of note the Dynamic Space-Time Diffusion Simulator in a GIS Environment to Tackle the COVID-19 Emergency. Testing a Geotechnological Application in Rome, elaborated on the basis of the data provided by the UOC Hygiene and Public Health Service – Local Health Unit Rome 1 (http://geolab.uniroma1.it/geolab/it/simulatorecovid19). Moreover it is worthy of note the project "Multidimensional Archival Geographical Intelligent System for Territorial Enhancement and Representation (Magister)".
Many Educational/training activities are organized by the GeoCartographic Laboratory, generally in collaboration with the Geographical degree courses of the Department and often in collaboration with other Institutions and Italian Association of Geography Teachers. These activities concern above all: Geoinformatic activities, Stages, Other Educational Activities which requires specific abilities and competences (AAF) for the the Geographical degree courses of the Department, Courses and lessons for PhD students
Many Third Mission activies are organized by the GeoCartographic Laboratory generally in collaboration with the Geographical degree courses of the Department and often in collaboration with other Institutions and Italian Association of Geography Teachers. These activies concern above all: the application of GIS tools and functions, demostrative activities, GIS Day, Night of Geography and other events with schools of different levels and other institutions.
