When you think of your courses, is there a geospatial component to them? Do you encourage your students to push the boundaries of their learning experiences at Brock? Do you ever think “Maybe, but I don’t know how?” Whether you are a seasoned faculty member, an LTA or a grad student, I am here to help with geospatial technologies. My name is Sharon Janzen and I am the Maps, GIS & Geospatial Data Specialist at Brock University. I offer services that include custom mapping, collaborative teaching, technical support for Esri products including ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS StoryMaps.

- From Marilyne Carrey, Associate Professor, Environmental Sustainability Research Centre
“Sharon has been an invaluable partner in my teaching and research, bringing exceptional expertise in GIS, remote sensing, and geospatial data. Her engaging workshops, collaborative spirit, and infectious enthusiasm for mapping make her an extraordinary asset to both students and faculty.”
- From Dave Brown, Associate Professor, Dept. Of Geography and Tourism Studies
“Sharon has been our Brock go-to person for all things geospatial! Recently she assisted us with the creation of a series of juxtaposed historical and contemporary street maps which effectively visualize the evolution of a historic Niagara neighbourhood over more than a century. Not only does she provide theoretical and practical guidance and assistance, she also gets involved in a hands-on manner to help us produce useful, interesting, and informative map resources.”
- From Leah Knight, Professor, English Language & Literature
“Sharon Janzen’s generous and informed support has been a lifeline for my current map-based research, which takes me outside my traditional comfort zone in terms of both methods and materials. Whether working with faculty, students, or the community, Sharon wears her expertise lightly, so that even an amateur can feel comfortable and learn with ease. Sharon goes well out of her way to connect researchers with the resources they need—including those they might not know about if it weren’t for her. She is unfailingly positive and solution-oriented, no matter what thorny problem is brought her way. I feel lucky to have discovered the wealth of wisdom Sharon brings to Brock. “
