Peter Kirsch
Data Manager
Biography
2004-Present : Senior Data and Science Information Manager.
I oversee the electronic management of scientific data and information within the Polar Data Centre. Assisted by a small team of individuals both in Cambridge and Antarctica.
2000-2004 : British Antarctic Survey.
Data analyst and programmer on EU funded ultraviolet radiation measurement projects.
1996-2000 : University of Manchester, Institute of Science and Technology.
European Commission contract to develop a web-based data centre for ultraviolet spectral measurements.
1991-1996 : University of Reading, Dept. of Meteorology.
Participant in a series of European Commission research projects investigating a range of ultraviolet spectroradiometers and techniques. Developed software to evaluate the operational efficacy of these systems.
1987-1990 : British Antarctic Survey.
33 month Wintering contract in the Antarctic. Responsible for ozone and meteorological measurements and the maintenance of associated equipment.
