Research at LAGGISS ranges from population health to disaster management to archeology. Common within all research themes is the application and development of geomatics technologies and methodologies. Population Health Internet Mapping Broadband Wireless Telecommunications Geovisualization / Scientific Visualization Archeology Palaeoecology Biogeography Climate Change Precision Agriculture Hydrological Modeling in GIS
