- A new WebSite http://crisismap.geog.uni-heidelberg.de that visualizes new map layers (“Elements at Risk” and “Population Distribution” for the Philipines). Further it adds a currently less populated Flickr layer and a storm surge layer on top of the H.O.T. base map.


- Due to a request by the crisis mappers also a simple table with the “Elements at Risk“ has been made available as csv-file:

- An OSM Mapathon for generating a street map of the affected areas:

- A live layer of Instagram images; it’s also available as a WFS/WMS layer here.

Feuchtgebiete in den Alpen

It’s basically a semi-funny illustration of a ski instructor’s “après-professional” part of a working day.

However, the hammer strikes just at the end – when the short bio mentions his birth place ;-/]]> http://www.berndresch.com/blog/2012/01/14/skiing-instructors-a-look-behind-the-scenes/feed/ 0 http://www.berndresch.com/blog/2011/10/21/welcome-a-first-note-from-osna/ http://www.berndresch.com/blog/2011/10/21/welcome-a-first-note-from-osna/#comments Fri, 21 Oct 2011 19:59:38 +0000 berno http://www.berndresch.com/blog/?p=68
First impression of Osna – just great!! The people are extremely friendly, the volleyball team is great fun and my colleagues at university are very far-sighted and cooperative. I really had a blast of a start up here!

For those of you who don’t know where Osnabrück is by now – it’s here

Quick recap of the first 1.5 months:

• 3 publications submitted
• 1 book submitted for publication (my PhD thesis)
• 2 project proposals submitted
• 3 funded Master Theses acquired
• Volleyball Cup tournament near Hannover: not so good
• Volleyball league: good (leader in the Lower Saxony division after two victories)
• Hamburg visit: check!
• First Salzburg visit: check!
• The start into the nightlife was quite “successful”

Also, I uploaded some images. The albums are not linked anymore on the web site, but you know how to find them ]]> http://www.berndresch.com/blog/2011/10/21/welcome-a-first-note-from-osna/feed/ 0
