I’ve been making boring maps for a lot of years, mainly for research (this is about my pinnacle for the last while). In general these are vastly under-utilising a pile of analytical tooling available in modern map rendering systems. So more recently I’ve been exploring. The MH370 map piled in a lot of techniques I…

Little planets and tree structures
Whimsy is an important part of life – making stuff for the sake of… nothing more than it looks appealing, or something equally non-serious. I’ve recently been struck with making ‘little planet’ images using the ANAFI thermal lately – it’s a wonderful application of the 180 degree gimbal the aircraft has on offer. Being able…
Web services: NCSS and WCS
This is a blog post about work I’ve done in a past role, but I’d like to get out to a wider audience. It’s about two different web services that do similar things: NetCDF subset service (NCSS), and Web Coverage Service (WCS). I hope it also helps to act as a short guide on making…
When one door closes, another opens
I’ve wrapped up full time work for Synthesis Technologies – we had a fundamental disagreement about my role in the company. Which is OK – this happens in any job. After 12 months, we had a good idea of where we worked together well and where we didn’t. It became obvious that a long term…
Sea ice and beer
A while ago I mentioned that I would write something about sea ice. The context was a talk I gave at the 2017 Pint of Science festival in Canberra. It was really quite fun, despite being totally terrified and full of the ‘what ifs’… ten minutes before stepping in. Thanks to some great tips from…
You can call me Doctor now.
Glorious bearded philosopher-king is clearly more appropriate, but Doctor will do. After six years of chasing a crazy goal and burrowing down far too many rabbit holes in search of answers to engineering problems, I got a letter from the Dean of graduate research back in late October. My PhD is done! So what exactly…
FOSS4G 2016 wrap-up
I’ve recently returned from FOSS4G 2016 in Bonn, Germany. It was my first OSgeo conference, and it was quite amazing. As a little background the OSgeo foundation supports the development of open source ‘geo software’, from desktop packages like QGIS to behind-the-scenes libraries (Proj.4) and even geospatial metadata catalogues (eg Geonetwork). My involvement? Over the…
