Rate My Professor Tony Moore

Moore's research focuses on geovisualisation, cartography, spatial analysis, and modelling, applied to areas such as coastal financial risks from sea level rise, active transport to schools, health, agroecology, and wildlife conservation. He leads the STRAND Marsden-funded project examining climate change impacts on coastal property values in collaboration with economists and other institutions. Other significant projects include the BEATS study on built environment and active transport, augmented reality sandboxes for education, and spatial analysis for small-scale fisheries. He supervises PhD and master's students on topics like spatiotemporal movement modelling, urban 3D rendering, and climate adaptation through green infrastructure. Key publications comprise Rahimi, S., Moore, A. B., & Whigham, P. A. (2022) 'A vector-agent approach to spatiotemporal movement modelling and reasoning' in Scientific Reports; Nguyen et al. (2022) 'Price recovery after the flood' in Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics; and Smith et al. (2022) 'Geovisualization' in Technology-Driven Geomorphology. Awards include the University of Otago Research Group Award (2019) for the BEATS team, New Zealand Spatial Excellence Award (2016), and best poster at COSIT 2013. Moore is President of the New Zealand Cartographic Society (since 2022), serves on editorial boards of International Journal of Geographical Information Science and others, and participates in International Cartographic Association commissions.
