Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Mapping Project In Antarctic Peninsular Region
The purpose of the project is to integrate this peninsula s spatial (Greenwich Island, Antarctica) data into the GIS database. The project s tasks include developing a standard spatial data model, obtaining and integrating spatial data sets. The database is applicable to geographical management and to multi-disciplinary research projects. The developed GIS database can be used in conjunction with other large area ecological datasets to provide biogeographically information, potential range distribution, and sampling adequacy.
