The Centre for Geospatial Science
CGS was established in November 2005 as a cross-faculty post-graduate research centre.
The research focus of CGS is spatial data infrastructures (SDI), geospatial intelligence, geospatial interoperability and location-based services.
New Nottingham Geospatial Building

Areas of research interest for collaboration
• Tracking using combination of GNSS, signals of convenience, IMU’s, geospatial prior knowledge – the sausages of uncertainty and predicting future location.
• How to utilise both authenticated and crowd sourced data together with best effect. [related aspects – trust in mash-ups, visualisation techniques,
• Development of interoperability test-beds – opensource data and software lab.
