Bathymetry + Cartogenesis layers of the Baltic Sea

This bathymetric model (scale 1:900 000, accentuated by a factor of 100 in the Z-value) provides a background for the mapping of the Cartogenesis maps produced in our énoncé théorique. It enables one to understand the particular geomorphological nature of the Baltic Sea (which resembles that of a lake) overlapped with the flows, conflicts and relations that the Baltic Sea experiences on a daily basis. These maps aim to confront the classical debates for and against the primacy of economy and employment against the argument for maintaining landscapes and keeping ecosystems intact. Should we exploit or maintain? In parallel to this argument is the discussion around the benefits for local versus national populations, global or European interests.
