Colin’s research interests centre on four inter-related areas:
developing methods and tools for spatial-temporal analysis,
spatial modelling at the animal/human health interface,
citizen science and user-generated spatial data for enhancing community engagement in environmental research, and
landscape scale spatial pattern analysis.
Colin's approach to research is frequently collaborative and interdisciplinary; working with both natural and social scientists to develop and apply new tools and datasets to answer complex spatial questions related to environmental change and wildlife health.
