Cartographer
A Cartographer creates, designs, and produces maps and spatial data visualizations for a wide range of applications including navigation, urban planning, environmental management, and government use. They combine geographic knowledge with modern GIS software and digital tools to accurately represent geographic information. Cartographers analyze survey data, satellite imagery, and aerial photography to craft precise, informative maps used by scientists, policymakers, and the public.
