    Brief

    This opportunity involves developing visualization prototypes to evaluate and select appropriate GIS tools for the ARCTIC Programme. The project requires creating two key prototype layers: (1) a Trafficability layer that models cross-country vehicle mobility by integrating Python-based science code with vehicle type specifications, weather data, and soil characteristics; and (2) a Sea Ice Accretion layer based on scientific algorithms and meteorological data, where an existing prototype version must be updated with improved science code. Suppliers should have expertise in GIS development, Python programming, scientific data integration, and geospatial visualization to support tool selection and prototype refinement.
