When you’re on holiday, driving to some unknown, exotic location, everything seems perfect doesn’t it?! Perfect, except for your parents’ constant squabbling about which turn-off to take and when… Enough to spoil anybodies good mood.  Well, there's a solution: Become a Geolocation Data Analyst…

Geolocation is just what it says: recording the geographic locations of anything on earth.

Technologies like GPS (Geographic Positioning System) allow us to capture this information in such a way that we can study and analyse it to find out new things and predict others.

Part and parcel of the research in Antarctica, for example, is to analyse tracking and geographical range data that have been collected using geolocation devices deployed on animals like penguins and seals.

Interested? Well, you’ll need a sharp Maths brain, excellent computer skills and a fetish for facts and figures.
