The GeoData Institute has extensive experience in the issues surrounding spatial analysis of natural resource and social economic indicators in an environmental and development context. This includes the utilisation of socio-economic and environmental datasets and the analysis of remote sensing imagery.

The GeoData Institute has carried out GIS capacity building and indicator-based map generation in Tajikistan, Azerbaijan Kazakhstan, South Africa and in the UK as well as developing indicators for non-monetary poverty (mainly associated with water/land use and natural resources) in South Africa, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Tajikistan and Azerbaijan.

The Institute is currently involved in a higher education link program looking at the socio-economic impacts of forestry land use management and water resources in the Philippines.
