  • In this layer, the main villages of the CKNP are shown.

  • The Land cover map has been produced in the SEED project from Landsat satellite data applying a semi-authomatic classification.

  • 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.

  • CKNP has been divided in 20 valleys on the basis of a physiographic base using the available GDEM

  • 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.

    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

  • The Glaciers from Landsat imagery were mapped from visual interpretation

    This new Pakistan glacier inventory has been extracted from optical data acquired by the European Space Agency Sentinel-2 twin satellites. This choice is dictated by the need to respond to the requirement to have homogeneous coverage of the entire territory under examination in terms of image acquisition dates, cloud cover and good spatial resolution, that allow the recognition of glaciers and their mapping. Furthermore, particular attention in the selection of the data processing and mapping methods was given for the expected prospect activity of updating the glacial perimeters and monitoring changes in the future. The methodology was based on a semi-automatic classification (segmentation) and the mapping has been implemented in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. In this new inventory, 13,032 glaciers covering 13,546.93 km2 have been mapped. The available inventory is the Version 1.0.

    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.
