Education:

  • B.Sc. in Geography (University of Ljubljana, 2008)
  • Ph.D. in Geography (University of Ljubljana, 2013)

 

Fieldwork and research interests:

Ciglič is involved in several research areas, but most of his work is dedicated to analyses of natural landscape types, in which he studies differences between different landscape types based on quantitative data. Through his research, he has become familiar with different analytical methods in the field of geographic information systems: processing raster data layers with tools for spatial modelling, processing vector data layers, including an analysis of networks and combining of both approaches. His work especially focuses on methodological issues. Besides his main research area, he is involved in numerous natural and human geographical studies. He is usually responsible for the geospatial analysis.
