(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)At the Wangaloa Coal Mine, South-East Otago, ArcGIS is being used to manage, integrate, analyse and visualise the diverse range of datasets being generated from an interdisciplinary research team. GIS will assist with ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 15th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2003: Land, Place and Space), 2003)Hector’s dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori) is the only endemic dolphin species to New Zealand waters. From population estimates, it has been established that this species is one of the rarest of the world’s cetaceans and ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 15th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2003: Land, Place and Space), 2003)Modelling the relationship between the genetic distribution of a biological system on a landscape, and the diversity of this system, are fundamental concepts that can be studied using simulation models. This work examines ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)We present a new method for calculating the transformation parameters for a rigid body undergoing planar motion parallel to the image plane. The method utilises splines to represent the outline of the rigid shape rather ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)AgResearch is New Zealand’s largest Crown Research Institute and undertakes research in the areas of pastoral agriculture and environment, applied biotechnologies, and food and textiles. While there is a great deal of scope ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)Landsnails of the subfamily Paryphantinae are active carnivores on earthworms and other snails. Most species are endemic to Northland, New Zealand, are several are of conservation concern, being threatened by habitat ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 15th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2003: Land, Place and Space), 2003)I describe a model for the evolutionary consequences of plasticity in an environmentally heterogeneous metapopulation in which specialists for each of two alternative environments and one plastic type are initially present. ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 15th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2003: Land, Place and Space), 2003)The field of spatial data mining (Chawla, Shekhar,Wu & Ozesmi 2001), has been influenced by many other disciplines such as neural networks (Rumelhart, Hinton & Williams 1986), machine learning (Mitchell 1997), fuzzy systems ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)There is growing research interest in the relationship between the geographic density of liquor outlets and the incidence of various harms (e.g., assault), however, to date, detail is lacking on the quality of data used ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)The conservation status of New Zealand's indigenous grasslands has been assessed, as of September 2002, against an 1840 baseline, i.e., immediately before European settlement when New Zealand grasslands were essentially ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)Science has provided marvellous descriptions of the Foveaux Strait and of the creatures and ecosystems that it contains, but this has not been enough to prevent a tragedy in Bluff. The tragedy is the loss of the Bluff ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)Hector’s dolphins are an endemic species found along coasts in both the North and South Islands in New Zealand. They are primarily observed along the coast within 5 nautical miles (nm) of the shore. Surveys conducted during ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)The paper introduces ARGOS, the Agriculture Research Group on Sustainability and discusses the potential role GIS can play within. The ARGOS programme examines the environmental, economic and social sustainability of New ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)As part of a multi-year research project looking into the regional biodiversity and management of Fiordland’s marine habitats, a GIS has been developed to manage and enhance the combined weight of many years of biological ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)For the last 40 years one of the most contentious issues in evolutionary biology has been determining the role that spatial separation of populations plays in the generation of new species. Most early formulations of this ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The journey to successful data analysis is vulnerable to loss of accuracy at several key steps in its progression. Thus the ease of understanding the results and strength of insight into a work’s implications depends on ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)Text mining techniques have become a popular method for discovering relationships between genes based on searching the biomedical literature. The co-occurrence of gene names within individual documents is used to produce ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)This presentation discusses and demonstrates ways in which modern technology, specifically Web-based GIS (augmented by low-tech data gathering strategies), and a web page based on local meetings of fishermen and other ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)Reintroduction of threatened species to predator-free offshore islands has long been advocated in New Zealand as a prime management tool for conservation. They also provide a good experimental framework to investigate ... -
