(T-GEM)
About
AT T-GEM we use GIS, remote sensing and modelling data to refine our knowledge of the environment. Our main focus is to use geospatial data to acquire insights into our landscape.
​
Our work is funded by the Environmental Protection Agency of Ireland (EPA), Science Foundation Ireland and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM).
​
​
We work closely with collaborators in Ireland including DCU (Insight Center), UCD, University of Galway, QUB, UL, NPWS and EPA. We collaborate widely across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australia including:
McGill University, Boston University, University of Birmingham, University of Liverpool, Greifswald University, University of Amsterdam, Lund University and the University of Sydney.
Our work is published in international peer reviewed journals.
Dr. John Connolly leads the T-GEN-L and is a geographer who uses GIS and Earth Observation to study our environment. His work focuses on land use change over space and time; carbon dynamics in the landscape; and developing geospatial methods to study these areas.
He is the lead PI on the EPA funded ICONEEx project (2023-2025); the RePEAT project (2022-2024) and the iHabiMap project (2019 -2023); WP1 Leader on the EPA funded SmartBog project (2019 - 2023) and Co-PI on the DAFM-funded GENENET project.
He teaches Geography, Remote Sensing and GIS in Geography at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
