Andreas Wagner

Andreas Wagner is a Researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography (IfL) in Leipzig, Germany, within the Department of Cartography and Visual Communication since August 2025. Previously, he served as a Research Assistant at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen's Department of Digital Humanities and Social Studies (April-July 2024) for the IsoGW project (Groundwater Isoscapes for Germany), part of the Lurch joint project.

His academic credentials include:

• Master's degree (2024): Applied Computer Science with focus on Cultural Informatics; thesis on extraction/localization of topographical descriptions from narrative texts.
• BA (2021): Geography; thesis analyzing regional relevance of climate concepts in regional print media over time.

Wagner's research centers on Geovisualisation and Cartography with strong Digital Humanities integration. He develops digital tools for geography education and place-based content management, notably the GeoExplorer application for location-based learning. His work emphasizes co-creation of geo-content for field trips and public trails through innovative cartographic-digital learning integration, advancing spatial data engagement methodologies.

His 2023-2025 publications reveal consistent innovation in digital geographic education tools, spanning field trip design, location-based learning applications, and engaged digital humanities. These works demonstrate cross-disciplinary approaches blending cartography, educational technology, and community content creation to transform spatial data interaction.

No information is available regarding students advised by Wagner or grants where he serves as principal investigator.

Wagner actively contributes to the IfL's Geovisualisations research area and previously collaborated on the IsoGW project within the Lurch joint initiative. His current work focuses on advancing cartographic-visual communication through digital innovation, particularly in geo-content delivery systems and location-based educational experiences.
