GIS 710: Geospatial Analytics for Grand Challenges

Students examine why sustainable solutions to grand societal challenges need geospatial analytics. Emphasis is placed on the roles that location, spatial interaction and multi-scale processes play in scientific discovery and communication. Discussion of seminal and leading-edge approaches to problem-solving is motivated by grand challenges such as controlling the spread of emerging infectious disease, providing access to clean water and creating smart and connected cities. Students also engage in several written and oral presentation activities focused on data science communication skills and professionalization.

GIS 711: Geospatial Data Management

Applied experience in the architecture of geospatial data management, including open source options. The course introduces students to: (i) spatial and temporal data types (OGC specification, GPS and accelerometer matching), (ii) spatial predicates, (iii) spatial indices and (iv) spatial query processing. In addition, students will be exposed to modern spatial data management systems like NoSQL and graph databases, and data integration principles including protected health information (PHI/HIPAA).

GIS 712: Environmental Earth Observation and Remote Sensing

Advanced understanding of physical principles of remote sensing, image processing and applications from earth observations. Awareness of tradeoffs between earth observing sensors, platforms and analysis techniques will help prepare the students to critically assess remote sensing products and devise solutions to environmental problems. Students will be able to communicate the complexities of image analysis and will be better prepared to integrate earth observations into their areas of expertise. Topics include electromagnetic energy and radiative transfer; US and international orbital and suborbital data acquisition platforms; passive and active imaging and scanning sensors; spatial, spectral, radiometric, and temporal resolutions; geometric corrections and radiometric calibrations; preprocessing of digital remotely sensed data; advanced image analysis including enhancement, enhancement, classification, geophysical variable retrieval, error and sensitivity analysis; data fusion; data assimilation; and integration of remotely  sensed data with other data types in a geospatial modeling context.

GIS 713: Geospatial Data Mining and Analysis

Spatial data mining is the process of discovering interesting and previously unknown, but potentially useful, patterns from spatial and spatiotemporal data. However, explosive growth in the spatial and spatiotemporal data (~70% of all digital data), and the emergence of geosocial media and location sensing technologies has transformed the field in recent years. This course reviews the current state of the art in spatial, temporal and spatiotemporal data mining and looks at real-world applications ranging from geosocial networks to climate change impacts. Course introduces various spatial and temporal pattern families and teaches how to incorporate spatial relationships and constraints into data mining approaches like clustering, classification, anomalies and colocations.

GIS 714: Geospatial Computation and Simulation

Methods, algorithms and tools for geospatial modeling and predicting spatio-temporal dimensions of environmental systems. The course covers the physical, biological, and social processes that drive dynamics of landscape change. Deterministic, stochastic, and multi-agent simulations are explained, with emphasis on coupling empirical and process based models, techniques for model calibration and validation and sensitivity analysis. Applications to real-world problems are explored, such as modeling multi-scale flow and mass transport, spread of wildfire, biological invasions and urbanization.

GIS 715: Geovisualization

Principles of visualization design and scripting for geospatial visualization. This course provides a systematic framework of visualization design principles based on the human visual system and explores open-source geospatial data visualization tools. Topics include challenges and techniques for visualizing large multivariate dataset, spatio-temporal data and landscape changes over time. Students have the opportunity to work with broad range of visualization technologies, including frontiers in immersive visualization, tangible interaction with geospatial data and eye tracking.

Fees and funding

Tuition fees for 2024 entry (per year).

We are unable to give an exact fee, this is why the fee is shown as a range. This fee range takes into account your research topic and resource requirements.

Your research topic is unique so it will have unique resource requirements. Resources could include specialist equipment, such as laboratory/workshop access, or technical staff.

If your research involves accessing specialist resources then you're likely to pay a higher fee. You'll discuss the exact nature of your research project with your supervisor(s). You'll find out the fee in your offer letter.

As a general principle, you should expect the tuition fee to increase in each subsequent academic year of your course, subject to government regulations on fee increases and in line with inflation.

Remote Sensing PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Remote Sensing is the practice of observing geographical phenomena from afar. It is revolutionising the field of Geography by reducing the need for manual fieldwork and allowing geographers to gather data about dangerous or inaccessible regions.

As a PhD candidate in Remote Sensing, you might focus on collecting and analysing data about a particular region, type of terrain or geographical phenomenon. You could also work on developing or improving remote sensing technologies.

What’s it like to study a PhD in Remote Sensing?

You’ll be assigned a supervisory team that will guide you through the completion of an extended dissertation. Your final thesis should make a significant original contribution to the field.

Possible research areas include:

• Automated crater detection and classification
• Monitoring wildfire emissions
• Carbon capture
• Identifying geohazards
• Semi-autonomous planetary exploration
• Arctic surveillance
• Weather forecasting

Your research might involve using sensors carried by planes, UAVs, satellites or drones. These sensors may have technological capabilities such as Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) or Sound Navigation Ranging (Sonar).

Alongside your research, you may be required to attend additional training in fundamental areas such as satellite data and machine learning. You may also have the chance to present at academic conferences and publish your work in journals.

There are a number of advertised projects available in Remote Sensing, but many candidates will design their own project.

PhD in Remote Sensing Systems entry requirements

To apply for a PhD in Remote Sensing, you’ll usually need a good upper-second class Bachelors degree in a relevant subject area. A Masters degree may sometimes be required. It’s worth noting that applications are considered on a case-by-case basis and a postgraduate qualification will often be an advantage even if is not compulsory.

PhD in Remote Sensing funding options

Depending on your specific focus, PhD projects in Remote Sensing might be funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Council (EPRSC) or the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Research Councils provide studentships that cover your tuition fees and living expenses.

Full studentships are very competitive, so many students will need to self-fund their PhD. There are numerous options for candidates taking this route, including the UK government’s doctoral loan , support from charities or trusts , and part-time employment .

PhD in Remote Sensing careers

Many PhD graduates in Remote Sensing will go on to pursue a career in research. You may also wish to seek work as a professional remote sensing or geospatial intelligence analyst. Remote sensing has applications in many sectors such as resource management, environmental conservation, urban planning and security.

Change lives and change the world with impactful PhD research co-funded by Flinders and CyberCX.

• Receive a $33,990 per annum (indexed annually) scholarship tax-free for up to 3.5 years
• Apply your research skills during an internship with CyberCX

Flinders University and CyberCX offer an Industry PhD Scholarship to undertake innovative research into Offensive Security using a cybersecurity penetration testing framework (Project 2) .

The College of Science and Engineering at Flinders University and CyberCX are collaborating on this research project to investigate offensive security using penetration testing and risk profiling to create a holistic and scalable ‘protection, detection and response’ framework.

Bringing significant industry experience to the project, CyberCX is a well-respected and leading provider of professional cyber security and cloud services across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. With a workforce of over 1,300 professionals, CyberCX is a trusted partner to private and public sector organisations, assisting organisations in confidently managing cyber risk, responding to incidents and building resilience in an increasingly complex and challenging threat environment.

The College of Science and Engineering is also committed to creating a safer digital environment through cybersecurity research and has complementary research strengths in cybersecurity, securing critical infrastructure and research methodologies, and ensuring timely PhD completions.  Together, we are seeking innovative solutions to this challenging area of research through this PhD project. 

This inspiring project involves:

• Penetration testing, also called ethical hacking, is an essential component of modern cybersecurity defence for all organisations. The technique duplicates the strategies of malicious attackers legally and assists in identifying security vulnerabilities so they can be addressed before any attacks occur. This research will investigate offensive security using penetration testing and risk profiling to create a holistic and scalable ‘protection, detection and response’ framework. The research will provide technical assurance in cybersecurity that aligns with the Australian Government’s new six Cyber-Shield themes.   

The Flinders Industry PhD Scholarship also includes an internship of at least 60 full-time equivalent days, agreed to in written form within 18 months of candidature, undertaken and completed prior to completion of the PhD, during which you will be embedded with the Industry Partner team, developing your network, and gaining insight into the everyday research practices of an industry-leading/service driven organisation.

This Scholarship offers:

• $33,990 (2024 full-time rate, indexed annually) per annum tax-free for up to 3.5 years
• A 3-month industry internship allowing you to apply your research into practice during candidature
• Access to academic and industry expertise through joint supervision
• A supportive environment to learn leading-edge research methods and become an expert in your area
• The opportunity to manage a complex research project and respond innovatively to challenges
