| Geomatics Research Facilities | COGS has recently acquired funding from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI) which has allowed the Campus to acquire technology and information infrastructure to broaden the program thrust at COGS to interface with marine spatial interests, resulting in a centre of expertise in coastal zone geomatics. The CFI funding supports the development of a spatial information infrastructure, which serves the immediate needs of the collective faculty and research students. It will enable on-line access to essential datasets and relevant software, and provide the image processing capability to interpret geomatics information and reproduce it for use in mapping and modelling, environmental impact and socio-economic analysis of coastal zones and the immediate offshore. Industry, academic and government collaborators are being encouraged to make extensive use of this facility. |
