Maps for Scientists and Professionals

Maps used by scientists and professionals serve mainly for localising information (as for example: meteorological maps). Therefore, basemaps should not be overloaded, but nevertheless, present all the information to support the map theme. These kind of maps are often defined and produced once, then used repeatedly. Maps for scientists and professionals cover the following domains: earth science (Geography, Geology, Geomorphology, Geophysics), general space analysis, etc. But also bathymetric charting, soils and agriculture, space and astronomy, hazards mapping, insurance and risk management, business location and market analysis, etc.
