Research at Marine Geomatics Research Lab is focused on fisheries ecology in relation to environmental changes, the study of cold-water corals in Atlantic Canada, the use of acoustic mapping techniques (e.g. multibeam) for benthic habitat mapping, and marine conservation and systematic conservation planning.
Other part of our research is focused on spatial data quality, particularly the interface between spatial data quality, users and usages, data visualization and decision-making, with for example projects that looked at communicating data quality on GIS maps and in virtual globes environments, and questions related to the quality of volunteered geographic information (VGI).
My research here address both the spatial data quality and the marine conservation. I focus on the issue of residual reserves in the sea and vagueness in spatial data and its influence on species distribution modelling.
