      • Aug 2013 - Present

      The main responsibilities of the GIS and database expert is to establish and maintain a geo-referenced data base containing environmental data related to mineral resources and to coordinate exchange of geo-referenced data with DCE and relevant organizations within the government of Greenland, such as NunaGIS and the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum. In addition, the GIS expert will provide our scientists with advice and support regarding spatial analyses and visualizations of geo-referenced data. This includes data provided by scientists and data obtained from fishermen and hunters. The work will be done in close collaboration within the institute, with scientists from the Department of Birds and Mammals, the Department of Fish and Crustaceans and the Greenland Climate Research Centre. There will be extensive external collaboration with DCE, and other research partners. Involvement in research projects related to understanding and mitigating the effect of human activities on the environment will be encouraged. MapInfo is the current GIS-tool at the institute, while some of our scientists and collaborators, including DCE use Arc-Gis. Show less
