I’m Dr Nick Bearman and I deliver GIS training sessions and GIS consultancy for a variety of clients, primarily focused in the academic and not for profit sectors.
I help people make use of GIS to answer their research questions, and get more answers from the data they already have.
GIS is a great way to explore and communicate your data, and I have a range of training courses, training materials, and books to help people do this. I also offer consultancy services to help you.
Contact me using one of the methods above for more details.
Geographical Information Systems allows you to combine:
- your data which has location information (coordaintes, address, etc.)
- with other data with location information (population, land use, etc.)
- to help you gain more answers from the data you already have.
