Javier Gordillo
Geographer by the University of Valencia (2014) and Master in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing by the Autonomous University of Barcelona (2015). I started my career collaborating with the VVSIG network of the MATRIX Foundation in the development of a semi-automatic method to generate geomorphological maps from a Topographic Position Index. I have also participated in several collaborative mapping projects in open source environments, such as OpenStreetmap. Since the end of 2015 I have been in charge of maintaining databases, digitising and producing cartography for different projects within CREAF, as a technician specialised in GIS and spatial databases.
From 2017 my focus is on mapping work focused on territorial planning: I have worked on the quantification and mapping of biodiversity, ecosystem functions and services across Catalonia and I have participated in the updating and refinement of the Terrestrial Connectivity Index (ICT) of the Barcelona Metropolitan Area, in the context of the Urban Master Plan.
I have recently worked on the update of the Barcelona Metropolitan Area Land Cover Map and the development of a green infrastructure mapping support system for the Dún Laoghaire Rathdown region (Ireland), based on SITxell.
