Geographical information systems and data simulation and visualisation

Maps are generally used as a medium for framing, understanding, navigating, and exploring our complex world. Data visualisation impacts on how we perceive information and interpret earth observation studies.

CAMGIS explores and produces diverse array of visualisation schemes to support and enhance end user’s abilities as they explore and build understanding of the world around them. Our research focusses on problems such as bushfire risk assessment, coastal sensitivity index ranking systems, flood warning systems, oil spill trajectory systems, landslide early warning systems and location-based.

Research in advanced GIS technologies aims to enhance the methodology for decision making in applications for best management practices. The GIS for spatial and temporal modelling will lend itself as a base of research excellence, not only for Masters and PhD research but also in the formulation of innovative and inventive solutions for real world problems.
