About
My research interests relate to Spatial Data management and Spatial Data Infrastructures. In particular, I am interested in the creation, maintenance and use of metadata and how SDIs can best be used to provide access to data on multi-national research projects.
I am also interested in the use of topology in Geographic Information Systems, and in particular in 3D GIS. Can we use topology in 3D to provide the improvements in data quality that we saw in 2D quite a few years ago? How can we store 3D data? What errors (slivers, overshoots, undershoots) can be identified in 3D data captured using different mechanisms, and how can these be efficiently resolved?
In the recent past, I worked on two other (unrelated) research areas as part of my post-doctoral work:
At London Metropolitan University:
In the context of increasing access to public transportation, can a GIS be used to model the relationship (if this exists) between fear and positive and negative features in the built environment (e.g. graffiti, litter, street lights)?
At University College London:
Can a customised GoogleMaps web GIS be used to allow local groups to record change in their area and to encourage their participation in the process of change?
