On Wednesday 15.01.2020, two representatives of the Geneva International Center for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) and the Swiss Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (DDPS) came to the University of Geneva to give a presentation of the Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA), used in countries affected by explosive remnants of war and ammunition storages for depollution operations.

Olivier Cottray from GICHD gave an overview of the demining workflows that mostly rely on spatial analysis to help outline hazard area and define priorities for demining efforts. IMSMA is currently built on ArcGIS components with desktop, online and field applications. The DDPS presented a program held by the Swiss Confederation and the United Nations Mine Action Service to enroll qualified Swiss students, graduates or information management professionals as IMSMA advisors for 1-year field missions (civilian deployment; extension possible).

The meeting was very successful with a room full of interested students asking questions. Similar presentations will be organized in other Swiss universities as opportunities arise. To know more about IMSMA, the recording of GICHD’s presentation at the 2019 Esri User Conference is available online:

I started my studies in Geology at University of Lausanne and Geneva where I discovered all aspects of Earth Sciences. I was especially interested in the mineralogy of ore deposits which led me to study barite vein deposits in the Western Jebilet in Morocco. After experimenting research and applied geology, I became interested in GIS and worked for a year as GIS project leader at Etat de Vaud. I then decided to specialize in GIS at University College London where I followed an MSc program. Back in Switzerland in 2004, I was hired as Account Manager by Esri, focusing on the Education, Nonprofit and Industry markets. Since August 2019, I am Program Manager mostly for the Nonprofits, helping them take advantage of Geographic Intelligence in support of their missions.
