Arctic Science with GIS

Harry Stern and Kristin Laidre, Polar Science Center

The UW's Polar Science Center utilizes GIS in myriad ways, including tracking polar bears fitted with satellite transmitters, mapping the overlap of the Northwest Passage with marine mammal habitat, and studying the declining extent of sea ice. This lightning talk presentation gives a brief overview of a few projects happening at the Polar Science Center and details of a GIS analyst position opening up at the center in 2018.
