Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System Training Requirements in Arctic Canada

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.

The authors discuss a training strategy for remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) in northern Canada.
