Geospatial Analysis
Overview
Geospatial analysis involves the collection, manipulation and display of data with geographic coordinates.
IMOs with the mapping skillset spend most of their time identifying trends and relationships between humanitarian issues and places to provide an overview of the humanitarian situation.
