Profile
Antoni is a senior lecturer in Geographical Information Science at the School, and is the director of the BAppSc course in Geographical Information Systems (GIS). He was previously in the Department of Information Science from 2001 to 2008 and before that working as a coastal / marine GIS Analyst at Plymouth Marine Laboratory in the UK. He has also worked as a biometrics data manager for a pharmaceutical company and as a photogrammetric consultant. He completed his BSc in Geographical Science in 1993, an MSc in GIS in 1994 and his PhD (on the application of holistic expert systems to integrated coastal zone management) in 2001.
Teaching
- SURV 208 Introduction to Geographic Information Systems
- SURV 310 Spatial Databases
- SURV 412 Geo-visualisation and Cartography
Research
Research Interests
- Geovisualisation (including the visualisation of uncertainty, cognitive mapping and application of virtual / augmented reality)
- Cartographic (including its interface with art and generalization)
- Spatial data structures
- Use of GIS-related technology in a decision support context (as well as using visualisation for this purpose, intelligent information systems, grassroots mapping and spatio-temporal modelling have also been applied in various projects)
Current Research Projects
- Isotopic Variability of Rainfall across New Zealand
- Community, belonging and common pool resource management of the Bluff wild Oyster Fishery
- Local and scientific knowledge integration for small scale fisheries
