The University is pleased to announce the formation of a new
Centre for Geoinfomatics (CGI). The Centre will act as a focus for research into
geoinformatics across both the
School of Geography and Geosciences and
across the University. Geoinformatics or Geographic Information Science
(GIScience) involves the collection, processing, analysis and display
of large spatial data sets. This includes any kind of spatial data, i.e.
data with specific geographic location, or, if time is considered as
well, spatio-temporal data. Researchers at CGI have teamed up with researchers in
SACHI (St Andrews’ Computer Human Interaction Research Group), to generate some exciting visualisations using
FatFonts, a topographic visualisation technique developed by SACHI.
