David Martin

David Martin is professor of geography at the University of Southampton, and director of the economic and social research council's census programme, which provides access and support for UK census data use across higher and further education. David's research and publication over the last 20 years have continued to centre around the theme of his original text Geographical Information Systems: Socioeconomic Applications (1996), with a particular focus on the use of GIS in census and health care. His research on automated zone design led to the creation of an entirely new output geography system for the publication of the 2001 Census in England and Wales. David has a longstanding interest in research-led geographical education, reflected in Methods in Human Geography: a Guide for Students Doing a Research Project (2005), edited with Robin Flowerdew, and his role as a co-director of the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods. He also leads a number of e-learning projects within the School of Geography at Southampton.
