The SAL Portal & Blog
The resources available from the SAL are here to support your use of geospatial science and geographic information in your research – that means different things for different people and different project though. Some strategic thinking can help you make optimal use of the resources available to you though. The following tips are based on the experiences of technical staff and feedback from previous project teams, so if you have something to add – let us know 🙂
If you are uncertain about the points above, especially the top two, you need to speak more with your Supervisor(s) – as technical staff, SAL staff are not in a position to advise you on ‘research direction’.
Once you are able to give us information on these essential big-picture aspects of your research, we can provide you with technical advice on tools, techniques and methods from the suite of options available within the Geographic Information Science and Technology Body of Knowledge.
While SAL is not in a position to teach researchers how to use software, we can direct you to appropriate training resources and provide technical assistance in your use of geospatial software in undertaking your research work. There are also a number of other skills that will improve your applied geospatial research experience that we can assist you in acquiring. These include:
