(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)A vast amount of genetic variation is a striking hallmark of natural populations, and is vital to the adaptation and long-term survival of a species. Just why this variation is there, however, is unclear: the two most ... -
(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), 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), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)To understand the mechanisms underlying a successful team, one must first understand the circumstances leading to successful performance outcomes (i.e., point/goal scoring events). However, tracking player performance in ... -
(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 last decade has seen resurgence of interest in the modelling of networked phenomena. In 1999, Albert and Barabási identified "scale-free" networks as being surprisingly widespread in phenomena as wide-ranging as the ... -
(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), 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), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)A Dynamic map is implemented and tested using a cartogram algorithm to distort space to enlarge any areas of user interest. The map organises space into a hierarchy of shapes, island at the country level, provinces at the ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)With advances in technology and microscopy, many biologists are finding that their data take the form of replicated spatial point patterns. These are patterns in which the locations of points are the main interest. ... -
(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)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), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)The leading cause of mortality in 15-24 year-olds in New Zealand is injury, accounting for three quarters of deaths. Road traffic crashes account for over half of all injury deaths and a third of hospitalisations, and ... -
(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), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)The complexity of land transportation systems nowadays requires an appropriate way of modelling and representing its related transportation features for ease of storage, retrieval, analysis and decision making. Transportation ... -
(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)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 ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)We have used the DNA sequences of Pacific topshells, belonging to the genera Diloma, Melagraphia and Austrocochlea, to ascertain how this group became established over a large area of the Pacific. Phylogenetic analyses of ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)Scale-free networks are a recently developed approach to modelling the interactions found in complex natural and man-made systems. Such networks exhibit a power-law distribution of link/node frequencies. Tectonic systems ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 16th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2004: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2004)The aim of this paper is to examine the modelling of the wind flow over a complex dune topography using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The area of research interest is a massive foredune behind which is a transgressive ...
