I'm a PhD student at the Institute for Complex Systems Simulation at the University of Southampton, UK studying complexity in Remote Sensing.

As part of my work I am heavily involved in Remote Sensing and GIS technologies - particularly ENVI/IDL programming and ArcGIS scripting using Python.

My academic website shows some examples of my work, and links to some of the software I have written.

comment When did the word “geospatial” first come into usage?
According to the Oxford English Dictionary (oed.com/view/Entry/… - paywalled), gis is also an "oath or exclamation", for example "By Gis!", derived from "a mincing pronunciation of Jesus or Jesu" and first seen in 1528.

comment GRASS r.grow doesn't seem to change raster values at all
Ah yes, that seems to solve it. I didn't notice that it was talking about NULL pixels, rather than 0 pixels (or maybe I was just used to grow functions working with {0,1} rasters rather than {NULL,1} rasters. If you add this as an answer then I'll accept it. Thanks!

comment Undefined reference errors installing GRASS addon
I looked at trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/DownloadSource, which seemed to give a SVN repository address and implied that you needed an OSGeo user account to get access, but I was wondering whether there was a kind of tutorial 'How to add your addon to the repository' guide?

comment Undefined reference errors installing GRASS addon
That's great - thanks. Is there some information on how to add to the GRASS Addons SVN repository somewhere - I could then direct the author to it and hopefully it'll happen.
