Stage 15 — Interactive risk map

Relative karst risk across Tasmania (LIST land use 2021). Click a karst system for its name, category, exposure, connectivity class (D8 routing) and mean risk. Use the buttons to jump to Mole Creek and the layer button to change the base map. Grey land has no karst mapped.

Notes

  • Springs: the CFEV groundwater-dependent ecosystem points (springs and subsurface streams) can be switched on in the layer control. Springs mark where water leaves the karst, and the layer gives context.

  • Two map layers: relative karst risk and intrinsic vulnerability, both at 100 m for Tasmania. Only one is shown at a time; choose it in the layers menu, and use the Mole Creek button to zoom in. Risk is coloured by each cell’s rank among Tasmania’s karst cells, from low to high, so the colours show position in the ranking. Intrinsic vulnerability is in five blue classes, the same as the book maps.

  • Other layers: the outline of every mapped karst system, with mean risk pooled over the whole named system; the rest of the land in grey, with no karst mapped; and the CFEV springs (off by default).

  • Where it lives: the map is a single folium (Leaflet) page, also saved as figures/interactive_risk_map.html. The book build does not run notebooks, so re-run this notebook after any change to the risk raster. The base-map tiles need an internet connection.

  • Method: the raster is reprojected to Web Mercator so it lines up with the base map, and the grey land sits in its own layer below the risk image so it never tints the risk colours. The code is under the Source bar above the map.

Land-use pressure: DEA 2021 against LIST 2021

Drag the divider to compare the two land-use layers at Mole Creek for 2021: DEA land cover (left) and the LIST land-use matrix (right). Each layer is scored on its own scale (DEA 0 to 3, LIST 0 to 10) and drawn from natural land (lightest) up to its own maximum, so darker means higher pressure within that layer and no colour means water or no data. The differences show what each data source can see: LIST separates plantation forestry, irrigated pasture and intensive uses that DEA counts as natural or cultivated cover. Outlines are the Mole Creek karst.

Product against weighted sum, at Mole Creek

Drag the divider to compare the main map (susceptibility x connectivity x pressure x slope multiplied together) with the same four ingredients added with equal weights. The two maps are on different scales (the sum scores 0.4 to 0.6, the product mostly under 0.2), so each is split into fifths of its own karst cells: the colours show where each map ranks a cell. Outlines are the Mole Creek karst.
