Additional areas of expertise include the effective use of geographic visualisation as a communication and decision support tool.

Research Interests

  • Understanding the structure and dynamics of complex human and natural systems
    This research uses geographical analysis and visual tools to develop and communicate spatially explicit models that synthesize existing biological, socio-economic, and other geographic data. Goals are to assess vulnerability and risk, as well as characterize resilience, mitigation and adaptation priorities.
  • Geographic Information Systems and Indigenous Ways of Knowing
  • Using crowd sourced data to understand human movement through the built environment
  • Urban Form, Infrastructure and Public Services – the Costs of Sprawl and Challenges of Density
  • Geographical Visualization for Linking Scientific and Local Knowledge

Qualifications

  • Doctor of Philosophy, University of the Sunshine Coast
