Geospatial science and health: An overview of the Te Taiwhenua o te Hauora | The GeoHealth Laboratory’s impactful research over the past 20 years and what future health challenges will be tackled next
In this seminar, we will explore the differences in health and health behaviours by neighbourhood, uncovering some of the underlying reasons for these variations in health. To better understand the range of ways in which differences in health emerge, Professor Malcolm Campbell will present a series of research projects from Te Taiwhenua o te Hauora | The GeoHealth Laboratory
Mapping the path to better health: Unleash the superpower of geohealth
What if maps could lead to better health and well-being for you and your community? Imagine using maps and data to improve our lives, helping us live longer and healthier lives. Join us on a journey as we show you how we make this happen!

How much habitat is enough?
In this seminar, Dr Cristina Banks-Leite will talk about ecological thresholds as a was to estimate the minimum amount of habitat required to preserve biodiversity, and how the position of thresholds changes across biomes world-wide.
Radio localisation: Understanding insect behaviour, busting sport cheats and studying climate change.
In this seminar, Dr Graeme Woodward will be introducing some of the work at UC’s Wireless Research Centre.
Geospatial Research in Industry
In this seminar, Peter Shaw will be giving an overview of areas of interest at Trimble, particularly, their ongoing pursuit of increased accuracy, reliability, and efficiency in positioning techniques (including mitigation against space weather/ionospheric effects) and the application of AI to Geospatial problems.
Earth Science in an Age of Change
Planet (a public benefit corporation) is imaging the land surface of the Earth on a near-daily basis, with multispectral sensors at ~3.7m per pixel we operate the largest fleet of earth observation satellites in history with a constellation of 19 high-resolution SkySats, capable of 0.5m multispectral imaging. e change, terrestrial an aquatic ecosystems, wildlife biology and agriculture.

Penguins from Space: Using satellite imagery to monitor emperor penguins in their struggle against a warming Antarctica.
In Antarctica emperor penguins are the species most at risk from climate change. Up until a decade ago our understanding of the species was hindered by the logistical challenges of studying a species which lives in one of the harshest places on earth. But since then advances in our use of satellite imagery has enabled us to find, count and monitor the birds, transforming it from one of the least studied species in Antarctica to one of the best.
