The formulation and implementation of guidance for European environmental legislation Landscape ecology and biodiversity conservation The use of Geographic Information Systems in natural resource management The Spatial Ecology and Landuse Unit (SELU) aims to improve decision-making by developing sustainable solutions to problems in nature conservation, landscape ecology, natural resource management and biodiversity informatics. Many of the Unit's projects involve the development of spatial solutions and have a strong focus on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and their interaction with mobile technologies to assist in conservation management. Dr Thompson's research has identified gaps in current basic taxonomic understanding in young people and as a consequence he developed a tool called WildKey. Spun out from Oxford Brookes in late 2006, and now called Wildknowledge, it received the Technology Showcase Winner Public Choice Award for Innovation at Oxford VentureFest 2008.
