Solid maps, fluid matter: Representation of wet spaces in cartographic imagery for coastal adaptation planning

Research output: Contribution to conferenceConference abstract for conferenceResearch

This study engages with the cartographic representation of oceans and wet spaces in municipal Risk Management Plans, with Køge Bay, Denmark, as case. Municipal Risk Management Plans are part of the national implementation of the EU Floods Directive (2007/60EF) and serve to reduce the potential flooding risk from water courses and coastlines, as assed by the Danish Coastal Authority. While the fluid element of water is the central topic to these Risk Management Plans, the visual representation of water in the plans remains solid. Based on a critique of the current visual representation, this study discusses how a more-than-wet ontology (Steinberg & Peters 2019) would alternate the cartographic imagery and challenge the adaptation planning outcomes related to it.
