Today I learned that you can export CSV directly from Overpass, *and* you can query features that are within a given polygon relation (not just bounding box).
So my multi-step process to extract cities in Austria from OSM just got reduced to a single #Overpass query 🎉
My colleague Manu Schmidt made a blogpost about some great student map projects that were created at our group this year:
https://cartography.tuwien.ac.at/great-student-projects-summer-2024/
Each of those comes with a link to a detailed project description, too!
Maps below were made by:
Kseniia Nifontova, Pia Wolffram, Joselyn Salinas, Marcel Mateusz Siedlich
Britta Ricker presenting her work on mapping mangrove forests in Aruba in the context of UN SDGs.
Again, the room is too small to seat everyone interested.
Not sure if it counts towards the renovation, but I had to rush out this weekend to cover the top of the back wall with a tarpaulin. The boards there have holes and cracks in them that had water come in during the heavy rainfalls last weekend, and I won't be able to repair it properly before the winter.
Had to remove the patio roof to get access with the ladder. Working up there was quite scary, but I also enjoyed the view 🤗.
It will be hard to compete with #sotm2024 today, but also #EuroCarto2024 , which we are hosting ourselves in #Vienna, is kicking off today with a day of really interesting workshops.
Here I joined the workshop on "multi-perspective conflict visualisation", organized by our colleagues from IfL Leipzig.

Trim pieces painted, renovated and back up on the wall.
The new nail gun came in handy 😀
