Introduction
The Centre was established in 1988 in the Department of Geography and Environmental Science (now the School of Geography and Environmental Science), Monash University, as part of applying our long-standing experience in:
- Researching the nature of environmental stability, and problems concerning 1) land degradation (weed infestation, soil salinization, soil erosion), 2) geomorphological analysis, 3) environmental resource management, and 4) geodemographic analysis.
- Environmental mapping and monitoring using digital image processing and GIS.
- Demographic analysis, urban and regional planning, socio-economic and spatial analysis from digital spatial and related data bases.
The Centre undertakes:
- Education and training in GIS and remote sensing, with strong emphasis on scientific applications to environmental and resource management.
- Contract research and specialist consultancies.
- Implementation of GIS for mapping and modelling in local government, transport and land use planning applications.
