Biography/ Background

Senior Research Consultant and PhD Candidate

Danielle Taylor has extensive experience in the application of GIS and has worked in both Australia and the United States. Since joining GISCA in 1998, she has been involved with many of the GIS consultancies that GISCA has undertaken, including having a major role in the development of the Accessibility/ Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA). In 2002 Danielle completed a Masters of Spatial Information Science through GISCA and is currently a PhD candidate. Her PhD research focuses on the application of a geographic approach to examine the spatial and temporal variations in birthweight outcome in NSW from 1994 to 2004. Particular emphasis is placed on the examination of socio-economic and contextural variables and their association with birthweight outcome.
