Characterising and exploring landscape resilience through big data and visualisation technologies

与自然英格兰的战略团队合作，这个令人兴奋的学生将调查与自然和社会科学有关的大数据的使用，以及，例如虚拟现实可视化和大数据技术，以提供一个整体的，通过社会对周围不断变化的景观的感知，对生态系统服务的提供进行综合分析，文化方面的管理自然环境的平等。这将有助于制定管理和干预措施，通过测试不同的情景，在其文化背景下加强自然资本、生态系统货物和服务。该奖学金将设在克兰菲尔德环境与农业信息学中心，并广泛使用NERC资助的“生态系统服务数据库和陆地信息学可视化”实验室，其中包括便携式Virtalis立体VR系统和GeoVisionary软件，以及Occulus Rift设置。

Working in partnership with Natural England's Strategy Team, this exciting studentship will investigate the use of big data relating to natural and social sciences, together with, for example Virtual Reality visualisation and big data techniques, to provide an holistic, integrated analysis of ecosystem service provision as experienced through society's perception of the changing landscapes around them and in a way that secures assessment of ecological and cultural aspects of the management of the natural environment equally. This will then enable development of management and intervention aimed at enhancing natural capital, ecosystem goods and services in their cultural context, by testing different scenarios. The studentship will be based in the Cranfield Centre for Environmental and Agricultural Informatics and make extensive use of the NERC-funded 'Ecosystem Services Databank and Visualisation for Terrestrial Informatics' Laboratory, which includes a portable Virtalis stereo VR system and GeoVisionary software, and Occulus Rift setup.
