| Mr. Jeffrey D. Hamerlinck is a Research Scientist in the Department of Geography at the University of Wyoming as well as Director of the Wyoming Geographic Information Science Center (WyGISC), formerly the Spatial Data and Visualizaton Center (SDVC), a research institute focused on the application of geographic information science and technology to resource planning and management. His teaching activities currently focus on geographic visualization, spatial decision support systems, and GIS applications in planning and natural resource management. From 1994–1998, he served as GIS Coordinator for the Wyoming Water Resources Center (WWRC) and was Technical Coordinator
(1996–2000) and Interim Director (2000–2001) for the Spatial Data and Visualizaton Center. Prior to the WyGISC directorship, he was Associate Director for the same institute from 2001 to 2004.
Mr. Hamerlinck’s research interests center on geographic information science applications in planning and natural resource management, including spatial data infrastructures and planning support systems. Over the last 10 years, he has served as PI or Co-PI for more the $3M in external contracts and grants, and managed an additional $3M in external funds as an administrator for the WWRC and SDVC. He recently completed a 3-year project in the Greater Yellowstone Area involving public participation GIS principles and implementation of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure at the state and local government levels. He is currently a member of three multi-disciplinary science teams involved in applying decision support system technologies to land and water planning and resource management in the Western United States. They include the NatureServe Biodiversity and Land Use Planning Decision Support System Design Team; the US Forest Service Wetland, Aquatic, and Riparian Assessment Team; and the Wyoming CommunityViz Partnership.
Mr. Hamerlinck received a B.S. degree in Geography from the University of North Dakota in 1988 and a Master of Planning (MP) degree from the University of Wyoming in 1992. He is currently a doctoral candidate in the Department of Geography at the University of Colorado-Boulder. His publications include 22 journal and conference proceedings papers, 35 technical reports, and nine multimedia and non-technical publications.
