I lead the planning, implementation and management of geospatial information systems (GIS) for the British Antarctic Survey’s Mapping and Geographic Information Centre (MAGIC). I work with colleagues in MAGIC to develop clear routes to delivery of geospatial information and training for BAS staff and other stakeholders. I am also the UK representative and Co-Chair of SCAGI (SCAR Standing Committee on Antarctic Geographic Information).
