Dr David Pullar's research interests are in: Geographical Information Science (Spatial analysis, Spatial modelling languages and frameworks, 3D visualisation, Environmental database applications) and Landscape Modelling (Catchment hydrology, Landuse change, Landscape dynamics).
The research uses a GIS as a generic modelling framework, and extends its analysis capability with an innovative technique to model complex systems. The modelling approach will be tested in two application areas: i) a watershed hydrology model for rainfall runoff and nutrient/sediment transport, and ii) ecological growth model to simulate the spread of infectious weeds.
To develop a rigorous transparent and scientific methodology for defining biogeographical regions as a complex interaction of climate, landforms and biotic processes. A novel approach using simulation modelling is used to define high level spatial views of landscapes and ecosystem structures. The immediate project outcome is the classification and mapping of provincial bioregions for southeast Queensland distributed as a digital product. Other goals include: i) new methods and tools for landscape modelling, ii) improving Australia�s capacity to undertake biogeographical research, and iii) better environmental decision-making for nature conservation planning, land management, environmental policy formulation, and natural resource allocation.
As part of a CRC, we are developing online database for the storage, query, and interpretation of scientific data. The goal is to make environmental scientific data accessible and useful for decision makers.
