CARTOGRAPHY: general introduction on geographical maps and their construction; the scale of the map; the shape of the Earth (ellipsoid and geoid) and the datum; the geographical network; the concept of latitude and longitude; geographic projections; hints of triangulation; the UTM system; cartographic symbology; reading and interpretation of topographic maps; Italian cartographic production; practical exercises on topographic maps at different scales of detail concerning: the calculation of the geographical and metric coordinates (UTM and Gauss-Boaga), the construction of the topographic profile, the delimitation of the river basin, the calculation of the percentage and angular slope, the altitude of a point, the planimetric and real distances and the magnetic declination for a correct orientation of the map

Type of delivery of the course
Lectures are carried on using ppt slides. Practical lessons are based on the topographic map. During lessons, students are encouraged to ask questions and make comments.Type of evaluation
Profit will be assessed by: - a multiple choice written test, relating to the topics covered during the lessons and a cartography test (Coordinate calculation, topographical profile, river basin); - an oral test aimed at verifying the knowledge acquired during the frontal lessons of Physical Geography and laboratory. teacher profile teaching materials
