T42. Digital transition of multiscale geological datasets from satellite imagery to microscale investigations

The digital transition of spatial information is one of the most challenging aims in the framework of international innovative strategies (e.g., Bernard et al., 2005; Maguire and Longley, 2005). The increasingly widespread use of satellite images, aerial photos, topographies, and thematic maps in digital format, integrated by more or less performing apps with increasingly detailed local information datasets (e.g., information on cultural heritage, naturalistic and landscape interest sites, petrological investigations, correlative microscopy, etc.), are opening a new way of perceiving the territory and integrating some augmented reality restitution with field and laboratory investigations. Most of the thematic cartography, indeed, can now be truly catalogued numerically through well-defined sharing protocols (e.g. Open Geospatial Consortium - OGC, INfrastructure for SPatial InfoRmation in Europe - INSPIRE). Such geodatabases are ready to be used, in turn, for further multiple uses if FAIR (i.e. Findable - Accessible - Interoperable - Reusable). All contributions in the widest range of geosciences that seek to make interactive multi-scalar and multi-source data quantitatively, are welcome to be considered for this session. This is done to provide innovative techniques for the management, planning, observation, and study of geological features in an interoperable key.
