This is a crosscutting project which provides support for integrated ICT services, data mining and production, data management, GIS remote sensing services, spatial analysis and modelling, as well as statistical analysis for the entire VLIR-UOS programme to ensure high quality research outputs. The newly-established Risk and Vulnerability Centre (RAVAC) lies at the heart of this project. RAVAC is the result of collaborations between the University of Limpopo, the Department of Science and Technology, the NRF and the CSIR, and deals with research that relates to global change via links into international and national research and databases, as well as detailed satellite surveys of Limpopo province.
