Geo-information Specialisation for Environmental Conservation (GIS and Remote-Sensing)
Background: Geo-information is a key tool in providing answers to complex issues concerning the conservation of our environment, spatial analysis provides a better understanding of habitats and species.
Description: In order to achieve effective environmental preservation in the Eastern Aegean Islands, habitats (e.g. seagrass, coralligenous reefs, wetlands), species (e.g. dolphins, whales, fish, seals, jackals, chameleons, flora) and threats need to be mapped and analysed in more detail. Through marine and terrestrial surveys, Archipelagos GIS interns collect various spatial data which is then assessed with the purpose of presenting distribution models (e.g. vulnerability, species, habitats). Current and future GIS projects include:
These projects provide fieldwork and hands-on research opportunities for graduate and post-graduate students who have achieved a bachelor’s or master’s degree, and who are looking to gain experience outside of the classroom. The skills and expertise acquired through this internship are useful towards a professional career in marine biology, spatial data analysis and remote-sensing.
