Map/illustration design and production for staff
We provide a map production service for staff research, publications and teaching. We also produce most of the University’s
campus maps.
Supporting and teaching students
GeoMapping staff work with students providing advice on map production and design for coursework and projects. We teach different aspects of digital cartography, GIS, map interpretation, field mapping and aerial photo interpretation. Shaun Lewin's expertise is in GIS and spatial analysis, whilst Jamie Quinn’s is in map design and cartography. If you don't know who is best to contact, email
geomapping@plymouth.ac.uk, and the most appropriate person will respond.
Spatial data collection and analysis
Advice and help is available on field data capture (e.g. GPS receivers and drones) and the possibilities for analysis (e.g., QGIS and ESRI ArcGIS), again through timetabled lectures and practicals, but also at an individual level.
