Hello, do you have a minute?
Tomorrow Monique and I will be heading down to Wilson’s Prom, our study area, to conduct surveys and interviews with park visitors.
GeoCart’2010 Presentation
Today I gave a talk about the role of GeoVisualisation in making sense of location based information at GeoCart’2010 in Auckland, New Zealand. It was well received and I got some tough questions from the audience afterwards – always a good sign.
I’ll post a link to the paper I wrote a bit […]

Top-down: Government reports

Location as context
Our second informal visit to our study area involved a couple of in-depth conversations with park rangers and a tour of the admin facilities at Tidal River, the main hub of operations at Wilson’s Prom. It was more a visit to keep in touch with our project partners at Parks Victoria, but there […]

Discussions centered firmly around the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge and how collaborative and social technologies can help connect various people in and around a national park. Whilst simplistic, the diagram above […]
Wilson’s Prom visit

Myself and the other PhD student spent 3 days at the park – giving presentations on our progress to date (for me: not much), being shown areas of the park not usually accessible to the public, and touring the on-site offices.
