Prof. DSc Dariusz Dukaczewski, Vice President of the International Cartographic Association / Association Cartographique Internationale is working as Professor at the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography (Poland, Warsaw). He received his degree of Doctor Habilitatus of Natural Sciences in Earth and Related Environmental Sciences from the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń (PL), PhD in Earth Sciences from the Institute of Geography of the Polish Academy of Sciences (Warsaw, PL), MSc in Geography with specialization in Cartography from the University of Warsaw, Department of Geography, Institute of Cartography (PL) and DESS in Remote Sensing from the University of Paris VI, Department of Geotectonics (Paris, France). His research focuses on remote sensing and cartography. He conducts scientific activity related to the development of spatial information systems, spatial information infrastructures, advanced cartographic animations, databases (topographic and thematic), geoportals, remote sensing, cartographic methodology (including in the designing and increasing the efficiency of animated map communication) and analysis of European legal systems related to the spatial information, cartography, remote sensing and geodesy. He is, among others, the author of the entity-cartotropic method for designing temporal-spatial cartographic animations, the entity-polystaimic method for designing complex cartographic animations, the procedural method for designing legends of cartograms and animated cartodiagrams, intended for computer visualization and using e-paper, the method for designing cartographic animations for users of different age groups. Since 2004, he has also been responsible for the sale of satellite data in IGiK. He is the secretary of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography. Author of 127 publications in Polish, English and French. He has prepared 25 and co-authored 19 expert opinions (including 32 commissioned by public authorities). Since 2000 he was the director of 13 projects and participant of 20 international and 8 national projects.
