Research

Research at the Centre for GeoInformatics spans a wide range of research areas, including substantive topics such as human mobility, global oceans, housing, health and a whole range of topics in between, as well as statistical methods development and visualisations. Through our many research projects, one thing remains constant: spatial data. At CGI we are all about collecting, managing, exploring, and understanding spatial data.

Research directions:

  • spatial statistics
  • spatio-temporal statistics
  • spatial interaction modelling
  • geovisualisation and geovisual analytics
  • combining spatial statistics with visualisation
  • analysis of special spatial data types:
  • trajectories of moving objects
  • dynamic spatio-temporal networks
  • other complex spatio-temporal data types
