Cartographic and geoinformatic evaluation of current bathymetric maps.

Cartographic and geoinformatic evaluation of current bathymetric maps Abstract This thesis is focusing on methods used in the process of creating bathymetric maps of lakes. In the first part of the thesis are described methods used for shoreline mapping and possibilities of depth measurements. In the theoretical part are also described interpolation methods which could be applied on point datasets. At first is given general description of these methods and after that follows also the detailed description of these methods in ArcGIS. Next part of the thesis describes cartographic methods used in bathymetry and in this part are also evaluated current bathymetric maps. The main discussion in this part is regarding cartographic and geoinformatic methods used in the process of creation these maps. In the last part is suggested a new attitude in this process and there are also created bathymetric maps using new combination of cartographic methods. These maps are enclosed at the end of the thesis. Key words: bathymetry, map, gis, cartography, interpolatio
