The Land cover map has been produced in the SEED project from Landsat satellite data applying a semi-authomatic classification.
CKNP has been divided in 20 valleys on the basis of a physiographic base using the available GDEM
The main peaks in the CKNP are shown in this layer.
The rivers of CKNP in this layers were acquired ffrom visual interpretation of Landsat satellite data.
Shispar Station provides data with a 60 minute time resolution of the following parameters: - air temperature (°C) - relative humidity (%) - atmospheric pressure (hPa) - wind speed (m/s) - surface reflection
In this layer, the main villages of the CKNP are shown.
The Glaciers from Landsat imagery were mapped from visual interpretation
The Tourism Map of the CKNP has been realised using field data collected with GPS positions and dedicated tracks. All the informations are validated by experts and local persons.
In the framework of the SEED Project, in order to support the creation of the Management Plan for Central Karakorum National Park, a series of thematic map were produced. Alle the data were created in the time-range 2012- 2016. The maps were used to support the discussions between the specialists and the local communities to arrive at the final shared version of the CKNP Management Plan. All the data that are in the maps are original and processed in a GIS environment.
Sentinel-2 RGB composite image of the Pakistan region used in this inventory. This image is the synthesis of all the images acquired by the Sentinel-2 satellites in the period “2022-07-31" -"2022-10-01. In the Red, Green and Blue channels the SWIR, NIR and Red bands are represented. The main land cover types can be identified: in bright blue the snow, in dark blue the ice, in bright and dark tones of red the bare soils and rocks, and in green the vegetated areas.
