Heather Chamberlain has a background in Geography, with a BSc in Geography and an MSc in Applied Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing from the University of Southampton. Her MSc research project was focused on assessing the risk from malaria importation associated with population mobility in southern Zimbabwe. Since completing her MSc, Heather has worked with Flowminder and WorldPop as a GIS Technician.
The WorldPop research programme, based in the School of Geography and Environmental Sciences at the University of Southampton, is a multi-sectoral team of researchers, technicians and project specialists that produces data on population distributions and characteristics at high spatial resolution.
Initiated in October 2013 to combine The AfriPop Project, AsiaPop and AmeriPop projects, we have a diverse portfolio of projects, including large multi-million-pound collaborative projects with partner organisations, commercial data providers and international development organisations.
