  1. SCAR Standing Committee on Antarctic Geographic Information UK National Report 2018-19 Adrian Fox a.fox@bas.ac.uk

  2. SCAR Standing Committee on Antarctic Geographic Information (SCAGI) 2018: UK NATIONAL REPORT Topographic mapping work Web-map and Web-GIS activity UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (APC) Antarctic airborne survey activity and developments 3-D Building modelling – HSM stations Future plans

  3. Continue campaign of re-designing regional scale maps All key maps except South Shetland Islands in new format and printed in last two years - card covers – standard format – series colour code

  4. Up-to-date online catalogue/downloadable PDF

  5. Photogrammetric mapping from VHR satellite imagery Now routine use for topographic mapping BAe systems Socet GXP workflow Appropriate for medium-sized, high value, very remote targets ~ 100 km² Cost is an issue for larger areas

  6. Mapping for UK Antarctic Treaty activity Mapping for Antarctic Treaty Visitor site guideline areas Second batch of 9 maps – new maps/updates

  7. Web-map and web-GIS activity Antarctic Peninsula Information Portal (APIP) Internal Operations GIS and Thwaites PolarView

  8. Antarctic Peninsula Information Portal (APIP) http://add.antarctica.ac.uk/home/apip One-stop-shop for management and environmental information for Antarctic Peninsula region – contract with UK FCO Mapping and satellite imagery backdrops plus place names Significant development work in 2017 CCAMLR boundaries; Treaty ASPAs, HSMs, Visitors Site guideline maps; Research Stations; Station inspection reports; links to station websites; historical Stations; BAS penguin colony data, ASPA vegetation NDVI analysis and more ….. Tools for place-name search, distance measuring

  9. Operations GIS (OpsGIS) Web-based access to BAS Operations information in geospatial context for planning and asset tracking – aircraft and ships – people + vehicles?

  10. Polar View – up to date satellite radar imagery for sea ice (and ice shelves) www.polarview.aq Access to sea ice charts, ice concentration and ice edge maps, position of tracked icebergs....

  11. UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (APC) www.antarctica.ac.uk/apc New names approved since 2016 SCAGI meeting: 53 names in the Antarctic Peninsula region Redeveloped the UK-APC website and web-map Continue to work on styling of place names - defining splines; selection with zoom; fade-out with zoom 70 years of APC – formed 1946

  12. UK Antarctic Place-names Committee website Key developments Reconfigured as a static site running on Jekyll – only the map is dynamic Compliance with UK Government recommendations for security and accessibility Reduced bandwidth – ships and in Antarctica Optimised for phones and tablets Content reorganised to be better structured and more accessible https://apc.antarctica.ac.uk/

  13. Airborne Survey activity Intergraph DMC camera – upgraded data storage. Takes 105 kg out of system – 25 mins extra flying Project with WWF for analysis of penguin colony images - BAe Systems Socet GXP for DEM/ortho images

  14. Airborne Survey activity UAV Building experience mapping from multi-copter UAVs Small high-value targets, accessible UAV model - Inspire II supported with GNSS ground survey Agisoft Photoscan Pro software Signy Island penguin colony – CCAMLR Signy Research Station building works Rothera wharf quarrying work

  15. Long range UAV with PhaseOne 50 MP camera UAVe Ltd Prion 3 1000+ km range; ~10 kg payload PhaseOne 50 MP camera with stabilised mount GPS/INS/FMS in development Engine problems have delayed flight trials to 2018-19 Operational campaign 2019-20 Aim to develop photogrammetric workflow

  16. Continuum of sensors/platforms Aim to build portfolio of systems – select best suited for task Prion UAV + PhaseOne Delta-wing UAV Multicopter UAV DMC camera VHR stereo-satellite imagery High initial cost Low operating cost Medium area coverage Remote access High initial cost High operating cost Large area cover Low cost per km Remote access High operating cost Large area cover High cost per km Very remote access Low initial cost Low operating cost Small area coverage Needs close access

  17. 3D Building modelling for Historic Station buildings Data capture flowline for 3-D building modelling Heritage applications with UK Antarctic Heritage Trust Horseshoe Island, Stonington; Port Lockroy next Professional SLR camera Ground control with GNSS and Total station

  18. Future plans Mapping: Ongoing production of regional scale maps and feed data into ADD S. Orkney Islands and S. Shetland Islands – 200 years of UK in Antarctica 2019 Routine use of VHR imagery for mapping Continue to develop web-map and web-GIS services ADD, APIP, Internal Operations GIS and Thwaites GIS, Polar View Airborne survey – Campaign December 2018 with DMC camera Support use of multi-copter UAVs by scientists Develop workflow for Prion and PhaseOne camera 3D building modelling – continue to work with UK Antarctic Heritage Trust Port Lockroy (1946)

  19. Thanks for your attention – any questions? A rare blue-sky day at Smith Island
