Remote sensing and geographic information system training requirements in Arctic Canada

Abstract

There is ample evidence of the need to expand the North's natural resources information base. It is equally important that this information be made available and accessible to the people of the North. Remote sensing and geographic information systems technologies will be important tools in this effort. To fully meet these objectives, however, significant efforts will be required in the area of training. This paper considers the unique training challenges that will have to be met in the North. The authors discuss a training strategy for remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) in northern Canada. -from Authors
