Staff
 

Petter Pilesjö, Associate Professor

Director,  +46 46 222 96 54

Is the Director of the GIS Centre. Physical geographer concentrating mainly on GIS education , implementation and spatial modelling. Over 20 years of teaching and research experience, at national and international level.

Karin Larsson, M.Sc.

GIS teacher and GIS advisor,  +46 46 222 40 93

Physical geographer with GIS education as main area of interest. Also work as a GIS advisor within Lund University and support employees in their search for and access to geographical data. Experience of using GIS methodologies in studies of environmental related health issues.

Lars Harrie, Ph.D.

Docent,  + 46 46 222 01 55

Lars is teaching and researching in technical and theoretical aspects of GIS. The main interest is currently map services on the web, algorithms for presenting geographic data and methods to improve national spatial data infrastructure.

Ulrik Mårtensson, B.Sc.

Senior Lecturer,  +46 46 222 40 26

Physical geographer with extensive experience of development issues in Africa and Asia. Works with landscape analysis and processes, remote sensing and GIS, as well GIS implementation in organisations. Many years of teaching experience and consulting at national and international level.

Andreas Persson, Ph.D.

Researcher and teacher in GIS and Remote sensing,  +46 46 222 83 91

Physical geographer with a special interest in spatially distributed hydrological modelling. The modelling aims at calculating the plant available water in field. Hydrology, modelling, GIS, GPS and digital elevation models are key words in the research.

Hanna Stigmar, Tech. Lic

PhD Candidate,  +46 46 222 39 45

Technical surveyor and PhD candidate in cartography. The research project aims at studying how to improve the usability of maps used in map applications on the web or in mobile devices, such as hand held computers or cell phones.

Micael Runnström, Ph.D.

GIS and Remote Sensing Teacher,  +46 46 222 79 25

Satellite data and GIS were used in my Doctor's thesis to evaluate vegetation change in northern China over the past 20 years. I have been lecturing many years in GIS and Remote Sensing at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis. Now working with the master's education in GIS over the Internet (LUMA-GIS). Other interests are the build-up of GIS databases for analyses of eco-tourism, pesticides etc.

 

Anders Ahlström, M.Sc.

GIS teacher,  +46 46 222 79 25

Physical geographer. lecturer and researcher in GIS. My research constitutes of estimating, modelling, accessibility to markets and towns in Sri Lanka and investigating the relationships between accessibility and poverty, land use patterns and livelihood strategies. My research also constitutes of modelling past vegetation cover with the help of fossil pollen samples.

 

Helena Eriksson, Ph.D.

Teacher and researcher in GIS and remote sensing,  +46 46 222 83 91

Physical geographer with a specialization within GIS and Remote Sensing. Work mainly as a teacher and with the construction of course material, regarding both regular and distance learning courses. My research area is within Remote Sensing, developing methods to estimate forest properties from information collected by earth observation satellites.

 

Per-Olof Seiron, M.Sc.

GIS teacher,  +46 46 222 83 91

Physical geographer with teaching GIS as main profession. I have primarily worked with remote sensing and digital elevation models in modelling coastal areas and their response to sea-level rise in Sri Lanka.

 

Roger Groth, M.Sc.

Technical Support in GIS,  +46 46 222 79 25

Master of Science in GIS, mainly working with programming and databases. Specialist at developing database driven web pages. Has produced several electronic application forms for GIS centre's programs as well as programs we collaborate with European universities. Has also served as chief of the Geocell in Kosovo (part of the peace keeping NATO forces) and is trained in mine action.
