Description of Activities
The Bodleian Map Room hosts the University of Oxford’s map collection of almost 2,000,000 maps and 20,000 atlases.
During the reporting period, the Bodleian’s Weston Library has been used to host numerous cartographic events:
To celebrate the conclusion of our 6-year partnership with the National Trust tapestry restoration team, we held a one-day symposium (October 2019) ‘From Weston House to the Weston Library: the Sheldon Tapestry Maps at the Bodleian’
A Library Late, where over 250 members of the public attended an evening of map-related events including: tours of ‘Talking Maps’; lectures by map artists Layla Curtis and Stephen Walter; eight researchers who could be ‘borrowed’ by visitors for 5 minutes at a time to discuss their map-related work; flooding a Lego model of Oxford; and lots more (February 2020)
An interactive online ‘Meet the Maps’ session focusing on four maps of Oxford (April 2022).
The restored Sheldon Tapestry Map of Oxfordshire (c. 1590) has been on public display since mid-2019, prominently located in the Weston’s Blackwell Hall. We have launched a new eight-minute film on the map (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xU4X9rIkNKs).
Map-related exhibitions included:
Talking Maps – the first purely maps-focused exhibition staged by the Bodleian since 2003;
Alice in Typhoidland included disease maps of Oxford;
North Sea Crossings told the story of Anglo-Dutch exchanges through medieval manuscripts, early prints, numerous maps, animal stories and other treasures from the Bodleian’s collections.
The major public engagement focus for this report was the Talking Maps exhibition from July 2019 to March 2020, co-curated by Nick Millea and Jerry Brotton, attracting almost 100,000 visitors to the Library.
A companion for ‘Talking Maps’ featured in November 2019’s Oxford Christmas Light Festival with a son et lumière performance by Luxmuralis beamed onto the walls of the Old Schools Quadrangle (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N89OmcJITwo).
More map images were beamed directly onto the Radcliffe Camera.
The Oxford Seminars in Cartography (TOSCA) continue to provide presentations on a variety of cartographic subjects, with multiple seminars and one field trip per annum, entering its 30th season in late 2022. TOSCA benefitted from the pandemic by increasing the number of seminars, and ambitiously targeting overseas speakers to deliver online talks. In March 2021, TOSCA was also able to host a virtual 1-day Women and Maps conference, and going online allowed us to bring in speakers from six different time zones, and attract around 200 attenders.
Outreach activities have seen staff giving presentations to organizations such as BCS, as well as Art Friends Suffolk, the British Art Network, Charlbury Beer Festival, Charlbury Festival, the Charlbury Society, Edith Moorhouse Primary School, Florence Park Community Centre, Friends of Oxfordshire Museum, Friends of the Bodleian, the Henley Society, the International Map Collectors’ Society, Manchester Geographical Society, Oxford Alumni Weekend, Oxford Beer Festival, Oxford Open Doors, The Oxford Seminars in Cartography, Oxford University Heritage Network, Oxfordshire County Libraries and Archives, Oxfordshire Family History Society, Radley History Club, St Helen and St Katharine School – Abingdon, St Luke’s Hospital – Oxford, Shropshire Family History Society, University of Leicester Medieval Research Centre, Wood Festival and Wychwood School.
We have also judged two mapmaking competitions run by Oxford City Council which were designed to convey citizens’ cartographic perceptions of lockdown during the pandemic.
New acquisitions included Layla Curtis’ ‘The Thames (from London Bridge, Arizona to Sheerness, Canada)’, a direct result of the Bodleian’s collaboration with the artist as part of ‘Talking Maps’.
New titles from Bodleian Library Publishing which have appeared over the duration of this report have included:
Ackland, Stuart: Drink Map of Oxford (2019)
Ashworth, Mick: Why North is Up: Map Conventions and Where They Came From (2019)
Brotton, Jerry & Millea, Nick: Fifty Maps and the Stories They Tell (2019)
Brotton, Jerry & Millea, Nick: Talking Maps (2019)
Nie, Hongping Annie: The Selden Map of China: A New Understanding of the Ming Dynasty (2019)
Rapoport, Yossef: Islamic Maps (2020).
The Library’s Leverhulme Trust-funded ‘Understanding the medieval Gough Map through Physics, Chemistry and History’ project was awarded of £112,242, beginning on 1st June 2019 and scheduled to continue until 31st May 2023. We have signed a contract with Brill to publish a hefty volume in their Mapping the Past series which will outline the findings of the project’s endeavours.
We have also participated in the ‘Unlocking historical maps of Southeast Asia’ project to commemorate Singapore’s bicentenary, partnering with Yale-National University of Singapore, Leiden University Libraries, the Beinecke Rare Books and Manuscripts Library, and the National Library Board of Singapore to create an online platform to deliver pre-1900 mapping of Southeast Asia. This went live on 30th August 2022 at: https://historicalmaps.yale-nus.edu.sg.
We have finally launched our series of ten StoryMaps online – they can be found at: https://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/maps/storymaps/. Subjects are: the Gough Map; Imaginary lands; Islamic maps; the Laxton Map; Layla Curtis’ ‘The Thames … ’; Oxford; the Oxford Drink Map; Oxfordshire; Tudor tapestry maps; and World War I trench maps.
Our volunteers have continued to focus their attention on the BCS Awards submissions, gathering them from disparate UK locations for storage and cataloguing as a new ‘special collection’ ().

Description of Activities
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) delivers and enables world-leading interdisciplinary research in the Polar Regions. The BAS Mapping and Geographic Information Centre provides geospatial information support to BAS science and operations programmes. It also takes a leading role in international projects to improve geospatial information resources for Antarctica through new techniques and data sources.
The BAS mapping group compiles, manages and distributes the Antarctic Digital Database (ADD) datasets on behalf of Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). The ADD is a seamless compilation of topographic data for Antarctica. Data updates are released every 6 months. Recent improvements to the ADD include a brand-new contour dataset for the entire continent and the publishing of ISO-compliant metadata records for the datasets. The ADD coastline and contour datasets were also added to the ArcGIS Living Atlas in 2022.
In addition to bespoke mapping to support BAS science and operations activities, we publish a series of topographic maps for the Antarctic and Arctic, primarily focusing on the Antarctic Peninsula and Scotia Sea. Seven of our published maps have been updated in the last 5 years and two new maps have been produced, one covering Greenland and the European Arctic and the other The South Orkney Islands. The maps continue to be sold worldwide and used by scientists, operational workers and tourists.
We provide secretariat support to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) for the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee. 147 new names were added to British Antarctic Territory gazetteer in the last five years, and all approved names are added to the UK and international, composite gazetteers.
The group also maintains online web-mapping services including the Antarctic Peninsula Information Portal (collates environmental management information for British Antarctic Territory) and the Polar View sea ice information service (delivering current sea ice information to ships in the polar regions) ().

Description of Activities
Since the British Geological Survey’s inception in 1835, it has been providing information about the diverse geological landscape and the processes that have shaped it. Historically this has been the creation and publication of information via maps, logs and diagrams to help facilitate the understanding of this complex environment by other geologists and specialists. However, our users are changing, not everyone is a geologist, and as such they should not be expected to interpret geological terms and scientific understanding in its raw format. The data created behind our traditional publications has been instrumental in reaching a much wider audience, with the development of 2D and 3D digital frameworks evolving into ‘digital twins’ of our landscape, we are more likely to be providing information to a Data Scientist, than an Environmental Scientist. User requirements have also changed in how data should be delivered, with significant growth in data to flow between systems, providing easier access across more digital services and platforms. We have established a broad range of data products that draw on our scientific research and aligned to stakeholder needs as environmental challenges evolve and societal response changes. Traditional market research and innovation workshops with users have developed into co-design and beta-testing as digital skills and access enable more collaborative conversations.
Integration of our data with other sources of information is now more widespread. For example, our GeoCoast product integrates geology, terrain and climate data from multiple sources and provides information on the potential for coastal geohazards, especially coastal erosion, flooding, and subsidence. Similarly, the recent development of GeoClimate, which provides information on the potential for the ground to shrink and swell (causing subsidence) under different climatic conditions, exemplifies how a temporal component can be integrated into a traditionally ‘static’ dataset on a national scale.
As a data-rich organization, BGS is keen to make many of our datasets available through a variety of routes and continue to release open-source datasets as part of its remit. The BGS Geology 625 K map data is the latest to have been added to the ArcGIS Living Atlas making it discoverable to a global audience and encouraging innovation – augmenting BGS Earthquake, Borehole and GeoClimate datasets that already exist on this platform. Many more openly available datasets and products are available through BGS’s GeoIndex.
We continue to provide geological expertise internationally with ongoing surveys for the island of Singapore, and the Maltese Islands. Here too, traditional map outputs are complimented with underpinning digital models and new formats for information delivery and user engagement.
The BGS is also part of the Geospatial Commission (GC), comprising of six core partner bodies to maximize accessibility to geospatial data. We work with the GC to improve the quality of key, publicly held data along with making it easier to access and use ().

Description of Activities
Cambridge University Library Map Department holds approximately 1.3 million printed and manuscript maps, plus 50,000 atlases and books on cartography. Items date from the fifteenth century to the present. Coverage is worldwide, though since Cambridge University Library is a Legal Deposit Library the coverage of British publishers, including the Ordnance Survey, is one of its particular strengths.
Activity during the last 4 years has inevitably been dominated by the Covid-19 pandemic. However, in spite of the speed with which we all had to react initially and the many restrictions and limitations imposed upon us (which resulted in us having very sporadic access to the collections), we managed to maintain an enquiry service and to do some other useful work. A blog post written for the Cambridge Library Group describes many of these achievements (see https://tinyurl.com/2p9bchme).
One of these new projects for which time was unexpectedly available was the compilation of a Cartographic Resources LibGuide (https://libguides.cam.ac.uk/cartographic_resources). Another was the editing of data for ingestion into the University’s new archive catalogue ArchiveSearch (the Map Department’s section of which can be viewed at https://tinyurl.com/6sta5sww). In addition, many more of our manuscript maps (mostly of Cambridge) have been added to Cambridge Digital Library (CUDL at https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/maps/1), as have Richard Relhan’s (1782–1844) drawings of Cambridgeshire buildings and landscapes (https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/relhan/4).
The Library has now returned to working more or less as normal and we have been pleased to welcome back to the Map Room readers as well as groups of students of all ages, from Cambridge and further afield, to look at displays and learn about the collections.
The Map Department continues to assist with the organization of the Cambridge Seminars in the History of Cartography, which delivers three talks a year. These became, and remain, online presentations, attracting a world-wide audience (see www.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/departments/maps/cartographic-events/camsem).

With a physical collection of more than 2.25 million items, the digital collection is also growing rapidly. Digitization projects mean that almost a quarter of our collection is now available online (https://maps.nls.uk/). Following a project to scan and put online all our single-sheet maps of Scotland (131,000 maps in total), our online coverage of maps of Scotland now spans more than 400 years. The team is now working on scanning and making publicly available Ordnance Survey sheets at all scales for England and Wales, including the large-scale town plans, which will include more than 10,000 maps covering 400 towns.
A new reading room, in our Causewayside building in Edinburgh, has meant that physical map consultation is by appointment only, freeing the Map team up for other map enquiry, collection and outreach tasks. Outreach includes workshops and talks about using maps as historical sources, particularly for family, house and local history, as well as bespoke sessions for academic and special interest groups, such as garden history. An overhead visualizer has recently been installed in the reading room which will enable remote consultation of maps and atlases for readers.
During 2021–2022, several hundred enthusiastic volunteers worked with us to transcribe names and features from our historic maps. More than 60,000 place names from the Roy Military Survey of Scotland (1747–1755) were recorded. Working with the Scottish Rights of Way and Access Society, 50,000 footpaths and tracks were successfully found and mapped. The transcription projects also created a detailed gazetteer of Edinburgh streets and urban features derived from the 1890s Ordnance Survey town plans. These successful collaborative projects show us a way forward for future community engagement.

Description of Activities
During the 2019–2023 period, the presence of cartography as a discipline of study has changed at Newcastle University. In teaching programmes, its most notable contribution is still to degree courses in geospatial engineering. The 3-year undergraduate BSc degree in Geographic Information Science and the BEng degree in Geospatial Surveying and Mapping (and corresponding 4-year Masters programmes) incorporate cartographic foundations and practice in all modules which deal with the handling of geospatial data. Thus cartography is incorporated into geodesy, surveying, image handling, geo-analytics, visualization and geospatial data management, covering topics including map design, open-source systems, web services, story-telling and map presentation, generalization. Other associated disciplines within the School of Engineering also cover map production. Due to retirement, however, there is no longer dedicated cartographic teaching in separate modules at Newcastle. On the other hand, cartography now contributes to other Schools with degree courses in Geography, in Planning and in Archaeology incorporating material relating to visualization, ethical and social perspectives for geospatial data, and geomatics aspects of fieldwork and mapping.
Final-year undergraduate thesis projects allow for student choice from across the range of geomatics, including cartographic issues; whilst research has addressed user interaction with maps, both from a practical viewpoint (e.g. eye-tracking to assess decision-making in environmental impact analysis) and a more theoretical basis (e.g. looking at paradigm shifts in cartography, and how cartography is defined and impactful on human society). Engagement with more historical aspects, including postgraduate research work related to contour lines, and attention to Charles Close Society activities, has also occurred.
Integrated national research programmes and projects at Newcastle which demonstrate the importance of effective geospatial data management, mapping and visualization include the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Geospatial Systems (https://research.ncl.ac.uk/geospatial-systems/) and the Urban Observatory (https://urbanobservatory.ac.uk/).

Description of Activities
The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is an international consortium of more than 500 businesses, government agencies, research organizations, and universities driven to make geospatial (location) information and services that are FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). OGC's member-driven consensus process creates royalty free, publicly available, open geospatial standards. Existing at the cutting edge, OGC actively analyses and anticipates emerging technology trends, and runs an agile, collaborative Research and Development (R&D) lab – the OGC Innovation Program – that builds and tests innovative prototype solutions to members’ use cases.
Over the last 4–5 years, OGC has embarked on a programme of work to develop a suite of Application Programming Interface (API) standards that spatially enable applications on the Web. The standards are collectively known as the OGC API Standards, and they address many of the needs that have historically been addressed by OGC Web Service Standards. The standards will enable access to vector feature data, coverage data, cartographic maps, charts, geospatial processing, vector tiles, map tiles, Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS), moving feature data, sensors, 3D GeoVolumes, and other resources.
An example of an OGC activity that has directly impacted geospatial policy in the United Kingdom (UK) is the development of the OGC Model for Underground Data Definition and Integration (MUDDI) standard. The National Underground Asset Register (NUAR) initiative of the Geospatial Commission is making use of aspects of MUDDI and contributing lessons learnt back into the development of the MUDDI standard. The global membership of the OGC makes it possible for best practices relating to underground data to be identified across initiatives in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world.

Description of Activities
Geographical names help us to understand our world, and British explorations of the world inspired an interest in the systematic writing of foreign geographical names.
A note was published in The Geographical Journal in 1919 describing the inconvenience that had arisen during World War I due to the variety of spellings of foreign geographical names. As a result, the Royal Geographical Society formed a permanent committee to deal with questions of the orthography and transliteration of foreign place names.
It was the 100th anniversary of the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names (PCGN) in 2019, and its fundamental purpose today remains the same: to advise across HM Government, in order that there may be widespread access to accurate, standardized foreign geographical names, to avoid ambiguity and significant diplomatic issues.
Over the past few years, PCGN has provided a wide variety of advice on geographical names across government, in line with UK foreign policy. One notable example, following the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia, was PCGN’s consultation with FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office) on the capital city’s name. FCDO has agreed that Kyiv is the form that should be used by HMG, replacing any use of the formerly used conventional name, Kiev (this latter form is close to the Russian (Киев, romanized Kiyev), and therefore may present ambiguity and indeed a misleading connotation). We have also checked many UK government maps of Ukraine to ensure that accurate and up-to-date Ukrainian names, rather than Russian names, or older Ukrainian names (the country having been through a wide ‘decommunization’ programme in recent years), are shown throughout the sovereign state of Ukraine (including Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk).
Information Papers, Toponymic Factfiles and Romanization Systems written by PCGN can be found on the PCGN website and give a representative flavour of the current work of PCGN.

Philip’s has continued its long history of cartographic publishing through the publication of a wide range of road atlases, sheet maps, world and school atlases, and a smaller list of astronomy and general reference titles. Founded in 1834, Philip’s is today, one of the world’s best-known map, atlas and reference book publishers. Working with a small in-house team, Philip’s maintains its publishing programme by working with an extensive network of the best cartographic suppliers, designers, freelance editors and consultants.
Most of Philip’s extensive range of UK road and street atlases are based on Ordnance Survey data. There has been an increased use of open-source mapping data in recent years which has been instrumental in creating new products. The large-scale Navigator series of UK road atlases are the best sellers in their category. Despite the ubiquity of in-car satellite navigation systems, there is still a market for paper products, although it is much smaller than in the past.
As part of the Octopus Publishing Group, there are opportunities to form partnerships with publishing companies around the world to supply tailor-made foreign language atlases. This thread is especially strong in the field of school atlases and translated editions have appeared in languages from Danish to Sinhala. The school and world atlas ranges are published in association with the Royal Geographical Society. The world atlas programme is particularly strong in the US market and the flagship Atlas of the World is published in conjunction with Oxford University Press ().

Description of Activities
The Royal Commission plays a leading role in the heritage sector with regard to spatial mapping of the historic environment. Since its inception in 1908, the Commission has sought to record the historic environment in both its historical and geographical context. For the past 20 years, the Commission has created, maintained and made publicly available Coflien, the online database for the National Monuments Record of Wales (NMRW); a collection of thousands of archaeological sites, monuments, buildings and maritime sites in Wales, all of which have been plotted spatially. The commission also uses its expertise in spatial mapping to enhance access to the NMRW archive, a vast collection of 1.25 million photographs including the largest collection of historic aerial photography for Wales, 70,000 plans and drawings and 50,000 historic maps.
The Commission also plays a leading role in promoting innovate new ways of spatial mapping within the historic environment sector. More recently the Commission has been involved with an Arts and Humanities Research Council funded pilot project entitled ‘Deep Mapping Estate Archives’, which has sought to digitize, georeference and vectorize a range of historical cartographic sources such as the First Edition Ordnance Survey, Tithe Maps, Enclosure Maps and Estate Maps from 1600 to 1900. Effectively, this project demonstrates how a MasterMap for the historic environment can be created providing a spatial temporal framework that can be explored by the user to see how the landscape has been created and has changed over the past 400 years. Future projects will involve Commission staff advising on the ‘Medieval March of Wales c. 1282–1550: Mapping Literary Geography in a British Border Region’ project and will continue to develop its expertise in vectorizing and making freely available historical cartographic sources of Wales ().

The British Library Map Library is the national map collection of the United Kingdom, containing over 4 million maps and related cartographic and topographical materials.
The work of the Map Library during the period 2019–2022 was hampered by the effects of the Covid pandemic. British Library premises were closed between March and August 2020, and again between November 2020 and April 2021.
During this time, all efforts were put into delivering content to an online audience. Existing digitized content was fast-tracked for online release. For example, 50,000 images from the George III Topographical Collection were released on the image sharing site Flickr in 2020 and 2021. These were also added to the Library’s Georeferencer crowdsourcing tool alongside other digitized maps from the British War Office and India Office Map collections. 3D interactive digital models of the Library’s early globes were created and placed online in March 2020.
Despite the pausing of onsite operations in 2020 and 2021, processing work progressed strongly. This included the addition of 97,297 items to the collection since the beginning of the modern map cataloguing project in 2016. Collaborative research projects of various types and sizes were able to continue, including the UKRI-funded Turing Institute ‘Living with Machines’ for which were digitized 22,000 early Ordnance Survey 25-inch sheets, and the AHRC-funded ‘Locating a National Collection’.
Printed and born-digital maps continued to be received through Legal Deposit, the latter including deposits from Ordnance Survey and other private and public sector publishers all made available through the Legal Deposit map viewer. Early map acquisitions included a unique proof state of John Speed’s engraved 1611–1612 map of Kent.
British Library maps made a cultural impact through publications, media, loans and exhibitions. For example, Tudor maps were displayed in ‘Elizabeth and Mary: Royal Cousins, Rival Queens’ (October 2021 to February 2022), and celestial maps formed part of the touring exhibition ‘Harry Potter: A History of Magic’ (New York and Tokyo, various venues, 2018–2022).

The Charles Close Society is for the Study of Ordnance Survey Maps. Founded in 1981, it regularly publishes research works and reproduction maps of the various Ordnance Surveys. It also publishes a regular magazine, Sheetlines, with news, views and research into historic mapping of these surveys. Regular meetings and visits to places of map interest are normally held throughout the British Isles.
During pandemic lockdowns, CCS concentrated on presenting online talks and meetings which welcomed non-members too, some jointly with BCS. This helped growth in paid membership, which reached over 700 a year ago. Many previous talks are now available online on the Society's YouTube channel (see https://www.charlesclosesociety.org/latest).
Over the past 4 years, preparations continued for several new CCS publications. The first of these, Ordnance Survey Intermediate Scale Maps by Roger Hellyer and Richard Oliver, is published this summer, and covers the history and listings of all 1:25,000, 1:20,000 and 1:25,344 scale OS maps, as well as War Office series GSGS (Geographical Section, General Staff) 2748 and 3906. The same team has prepared a study of OS smaller-scale maps (1:100,000 through to 1:1,584,000), incorporating work begun by Chris Board and the late Peter Clark on OS 1:253,440 and 1:126,720 maps, also expanding previous knowledge of inter-war aviation maps. In 2023, the latest ‘Map from the past’, a high-quality reproduction of a significant OS map of importance, is The General Strike Map (of London, 1926). This map is free to members, but all CCS publications are also available to non-members.
As part of an endowment received from the Society's late founder chairman, a new fund, the Peter Clark Research Award, is offered for providing assistance with expenses in conducting original research into the Ordnance Surveys. This award is also open to non-members.
Membership is open to all and starts from only £15 per year ().

The Historic Towns Trust has continued with an active publishing programme over the past 4 years, with a number of projects reported on in 2019 come to fruition and many more either under way or planned. The principal outputs of the Trust are volumes of the British Historic Towns Atlas (BHTA) and historical sheet maps.
The BHTA is part of a European series of atlases mapping historic towns at consistent and comparable scales, based on a principal map at 1:2,500 with additional maps showing the towns’ built-up areas and buildings at key points in their topographic development. The year 2020 saw the publication of Volume VII, on Oxford, after many years’ work. The Trust will produce further volumes, and projects are in planning for Canterbury, Perth, and Ripon, along with an atlas of London in 1666, just before the Great Fire.
The sheet maps we publish are complementary to the atlas volumes; all are at 1:2,500 scale. In the last 4 years, we have published historical maps of Medieval London (London c. 1270–1300), Bristol in 1480, Canterbury, Coventry, Alnwick & Alnmouth, and Beverley, and new editions of the historical map of Oxford and the map of Tudor London (London c. 1520). Maps in preparation and planning include Swansea & Mumbles (English and Welsh editions), Cambridge, Perth, Bath and Ripon.
The Trust undertakes most of the cartography itself, although almost all projects are run in partnership with local organizations who provide the historical information.
The Trust has reviewed its output and plans a considerable expansion, and is embarking on fundraising to do so. The Trust has also presented online lectures to bring its historical maps to a wider public and has redesigned its website. It is also developing educational resources, initially for primary school teachers, using historical and historic maps to enhance the geography and history curricula ().

Transport modelling involves geospatial data, and communicating analyses may require both geospatially summarized data or cartographic outputs.

Description of Activities
The UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) is a world-leading centre for hydrography, specializing in marine geospatial data that help others to unlock a deeper understanding of the world’s oceans for safety, trade and sustainability.
Supporting Safe Navigation Across the Globe – SOLAS
We provide the most comprehensive global portfolio of SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) compliant charts, publications and digital services. Our portfolio of ADMIRALTY Maritime Data Solutions is carried by over 90% of the world’s ships trading internationally.
Seabed to Surface
We are a global centre of hydrographic understanding and strive to set and raise global standards of excellence for hydrography and bathymetry. We advocate for the importance of seabed mapping and marine data, which underpins nearly every activity in the ocean space.
Defence
We fulfil the navigation and operational needs of the Royal Navy and all UK Defence vessels for the safety and security of UK waters. We support the UK’s Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy and the operations of UK maritime forces and our allies around the globe.
Maritime Ecosystem
We are helping to shape the next generation of navigation solutions. By working together across industry and the latest innovations in digitalization and data science, including the S-100 framework, we can unlock new possibilities for ocean users and help meet their priorities, including decarbonization and voyage optimization.
UK Centre for Seabed Mapping (UK CSM)
In support of a more integrated Marine Geospatial Sector for the UK, both nationally and internationally, we have recently created the UK CSM, with a core focus on bathymetry and its associated data. Through increased coverage, quality and access of seabed mapping data collected from public money or in collaboration with industry, the UK CSM aims to enable a more unified voice to promote seabed mapping, and the resultant data, as a key part of UK national infrastructure ().

Description of Activities
Geospatial technologies (School of Geosciences) are a key component of our undergraduate degrees and also a number of postgraduate taught (PGT) degree programmes, most notably the MSc in Geographical Information Systems (GIS) programme, where maps are often the major output from geospatial analyses.
The Geographical Information Systems degree programme, which began in 1987, covers the fundamentals of techniques and tools for acquiring, storing, processing, classifying, analysing, and visualizing spatially referenced data, and their application to the study of the Earth. This includes:
Spatial databases
Programming
Simulation and modelling
Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
Digital mapping and cartography
Airborne, satellite and UAV remote sensing
Digital image processing
Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
WebGIS and Internet atlases
Field data capture
Mobile GIS.
Many of our academic and research staff in the School of Geosciences – Geography, Geology and Archaeology – continue to make widespread use of GIS, remote sensing (including unmanned aerial vehicles or drones) and field mapping as the basis for creating both digital and hardcopy maps and geovisualizations as part of their teaching, research and consultancy work.
Cartography is taught as part of the Introduction to GIS module, including coverage of the fundamentals of map design for traditional cartography, GIS and WebGIS.
The School also has two Cartography Technicians who provide support for academic staff where professional maps are required for journal and book publications.
In association with the East Grampian Coastal Partnership (EGCP Ltd), we have recently created a series of four maps – the Discover Maps Project (see www.egcp.scot/discover-maps). We have developed a new and unique series of graphical maps covering the Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire coast. These maps contain a wealth of interesting information about the coast, including the people, history, environment and activities that make the north east of Scotland coastline special ().

Description of Activities
The Map Library at the University of Portsmouth holds a collection of approximately 20,000 maps, stored in 172 map drawers and 9 vertical plan chests. The collection was originally created in the 1960s and moved to a purpose-built Map Library in the Department of Geography in 1973. The whole collection relocated to a brand-new Resources Centre in 1996, where it served the Faculty of the Environment. A change to the University’s faculty structure in 2007 meant that the Map Library had to find a new home and, after reducing the collection size by half, it was transferred to the University Library, where it now forms part of the Special Collections. The majority of users come from the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries (Architecture, Illustration), the School of the Environment, Geography and Geosciences, and the Faculty of Technology (Civil Engineering, Property Development).
The Map Library holds an extensive collection of topographic and thematic mapping for the UK, together with mid to late twentieth century mapping for parts of Europe. However, the focus of collection management is now almost entirely devoted to historic mapping of Portsmouth and the surrounding area. This includes an almost complete collection of Ordnance Survey County Series 1:2,500 and 1:10,560 maps of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, plus 1:500 OS Town Plans of Portsmouth. Since the onset of the pandemic, more time is being devoted to the disposal of unused maps and sourcing good-quality mapping that can be accessed online.
The Map Library is equipped with a large format scanner that provides digital copies for both students and, by appointment, external users. The scanner has also been used since 2015 in an ongoing project to digitize our growing collection of nineteenth and early twentieth century US railroad maps ().

Description of Activities
Cartographic principles form part of the core undergraduate ‘Introduction to GIS’ module in the School of Geography, reinforced by practical exercises using ArcGIS Online. Cartographic design is a criterion used to assess the interactive wellbeing maps of campus created by students as part of this module. The second-year ‘Dissertation Preparation’ module includes a section on cartographic principles, including input from the School Cartographer. The ‘Spatial Decision Making’ module in year 2 includes content related to the effective graphical communication of GIS outputs and this forms part of a group assessment focusing on a site suitability exercise. In the final year, the ‘Geospatial Technologies’ module looks at geovisualizations beyond desktop GIS including mobile mapping and augmented reality. GIS is also used on several fieldtrips and techniques modules both in physical and human geography.
Examples of the use of geospatial technology elsewhere in the University are the School of Architecture and the Built Environment which makes great use of large-scale mapping through the Edina Digimap Service. Also, there is an increasing interest in the use of geospatial technologies in the humanities both in teaching and to support research.
An example of the use of geospatial technologies in a research context is the ‘Rights Lab’ where a combination of satellite data, image analysis and artificial intelligence is mapping the risk and prevalence of modern slavery. The Nottingham Geospatial Institute has partnered with Newcastle University to form the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Geospatial Systems.
Within the School of Geography research includes the historical and cultural aspects of cartography along with some new innovations such as the Projection Augmented Relief Model (PARM) technique. PARM explores the ways 3D printed landscape models can be dynamically textured through maps and imagery in a range of public contexts ().
