David Miller
David Miller has a BSc in Topographic Science from University of Glasgow, and a PhD on expert systems from the University of Aberdeen. He has worked at the Institute since 1984, currently as Leader of the Integrated Land Use Systems Group. He has worked on techniques for handling and analysing geographic information and applying them to mapping, monitoring and modelling changes in peat, land cover, land use and landscape (including urban land use), and the development of Geographic Information Systems for use by government and its agencies.
Current research interests
I am responsible for co-ordination of research and commercial projects relating to landscape and spatial modeling, including applications in renewable energy, urban greenspaces and wider land use planning. My research interest aims to better understand human uses, preferences and interpretation of land use and landscapes. To achieve this I develop methods for handling and analysing geographic information, using them to map, monitor and model change in urban and rural land cover, land use and landscape, and facilitating public and stakeholder visioning exercise and participation in land use decision-making. I lead areas of the Institute's knowledge exchange programme, including the Virtual Landscape Theatre, for communicating opinions about urban and rural pressures for land use change, between politicians, planners, and the public, including schools.
