Digitizing a Historical Tapestry
I created a detailed GIS-based map of an eighteenth-century historical tapestry, focusing on the spatial distribution of motifs, coloured glass beads, and metallic sequins across its 45.5 m² surface. Using QGIS, I digitised and analysed the decorative elements, assigning precise spatial coordinates to better understand the tapestry’s complex design and composition.
This work formed part of a larger research project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and was conducted during my time at the University of Freiberg.
A short summary of the project can be found in my PhD thesis.
Volcanic Mapping in the Hoggar Region
I produced geological maps of volcanic surfaces and structural features in the Hoggar region (Algeria), covering approximately 338,000 km². Using ArcGIS, Landsat 7 ETM+ satellite imagery, and digital elevation models, I identified and mapped volcanic cones, lava flows, and tectonic structures.
This work contributed to a better spatial understanding of Cenozoic volcanism in the region and explored the relationship between fault activity and volcanic processes.
The project was carried out as part of my Master’s thesis, in collaboration with a research partner at USTHB.
