Manfred Mittlböck

Manfred Mittlböck is a Senior Scientist in Geoinformatics at Paris Lodron University Salzburg (PLUS), actively contributing to research and development projects in geospatial technologies. His work spans multiple domains including geospatial data management, 3D cartography, glacier monitoring, and geoportal development, with numerous publications and projects extending through 2025.

Dr. Mittlböck's research interests focus on Geoinformatics applications, particularly in geospatial data infrastructure, 3D indoor cartography, and glacier monitoring systems. His work demonstrates strong integration of theoretical geospatial concepts with practical implementations across various environments from university campuses to alpine regions and Central Asia.

His recent publications indicate a growing interest in 5G technology applications in geoinformatics, metadata standards implementation, and integration of geospatial data into 3D virtual environments. These works reflect both technical innovation and practical application in real-world contexts.

Among his notable projects are:

• GSP4CA: Geospatial sharing platform for Central Asia (2025-2026)
• SpaceSUITE: SPACE downstream Skills development (2024-2027)
• CAportal: Central Asia Geoportal (2024-2025)
• Indoor Cartography project (2024)
• GDI NPVBGD 2023+: Geoinformation strategy for Berchtesgaden National Park (2023-2024)

Dr. Mittlböck also contributes to glaciological monitoring efforts in the Upper Stubachtal region of the Hohe Tauern mountains, with research featured in media coverage about accelerating glacier retreat. His work bridges academic research with practical applications in environmental monitoring, spatial data infrastructure, and educational initiatives.
