Monica’s research investigates data analytics of movement within complex networks, among individuals and groups, and emerging from the interaction of social, economical and environmental systems.
“My research is about making sense of real-time big data about the world, no matter whether that data is generated by sensors on a smartphone or vehicle or by a person.”
“My work involves using geospatial technologies for observing and measuring our environment. Issues of data quality, uncertainty and scale, and the remote sensing and analysis of vegetation and wildfire are my key areas of research.”
“I am developing and applying GIS-based techniques and approaches to modelling, analysis and visualization of geographical phenomena, patterns and processes, at fine resolution, to support urban and regional sustainability.”
“My research centres in the interdisciplinary fields of geography, psychology, transport, and GIS, with topics related to human-environment interactions, human mobility, and urban planning, such as the impact of urban vegetation on urban heat islands (UHI).”
