About
AT T-GEM we use with GIS, earth observation (EO) and modelling data to map, monitor and model our environment. Our main focus is to use geospatial data to acquire insights about the environment.
​
Our work is funded by the Environmental Protection Agency of Ireland (EPA), Science Foundation Ireland under SFI Enable and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM).
​
​
We work closely with collaborators in Ireland including DCU (Insight Center), UCD, NUIG, QUB, UL, NPWS and EPA. We also collaborate widely in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Australia including:
Boston University, McGill University, University of Birmingham, University of Liverpool, Greifswald University
,University of Amsterdam, Lund University and the University of Sydney.
We publish our work 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.
