Geospatial and Visual Methods Lab

The new Geospatial and Visual Methods Lab space 

at Royal Holloway

The new lab space in the Department of Geography features GIS and video software for use in post-graduate teaching and research.  

It is intended as a place for creative and participatory exploration of new ways of mapping, representing, and thinking about space (human, physical, cultural, political and more).

Teaching starts tomorrow with social and cultural geography master's students using video editing software.  We have an Apple TV module to aid with group learning and coordination.

The GVML also has its own new twitter account for keeping up to date with activities and developments occurring here.  Follow us @GVMLab or @gwilymeades for updates.

Heathrow Terminal 5 via Poyle and Staines Moor

Rode right up to the end of the runway on my bicycle

Ate an apple and just waited

Before long a jumbo jet 

Went full-bore across the tops of the signal towers

Air traffic control 

Tower winking

Shuttle pods shuffling along

And another 

This time higher

Took flight right over me

Now situated so close

I had to plug my ears
