the spatial lab

The spatial lab is directed by Dr Colin Robertson, an Assistant Professor in Geography and Environmental Studies at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario.


We focus on developing and applying cutting edge spatial techniques to understand dynamic processes. Our work is mainly in three broad areas: spatial modelling, disease surveillance and global health, and spatial ecology.
