About me

My name is Krystal Dacey and I am a PhD Candidate at Charles Sturt University researching spatial modelling of human movement in the Australian wilderness. I have 13 years of experience working as a Geographic Information System Specialist for multiple Australian Government Departments and I also volunteer in mapping natural disasters and search and rescue incidents.
