Toni O'Neill Spatial Research Laboratory

The TOL (41.G03G) is a specialist research facility that provides access to a range of applications that support geospatial research within the School of Earth & Environmental Sciences.

You can search for a particular software product or find out what is installed on a particular computer using the SAL Software Search (coming soon) and computers can be booked in advance using the Booking Sheets located in the lab.

Machine bookings are limited to 3 hour blocks, longer bookings require consultation with SAL staff to ensure other users are not disadvantaged by extended usage of specific machines.

Antoinette Lyndall (Toni) O’Neill                     1945 - 1999

Toni O’Neill made a distinguished contribution in the early developments of the spatial sciences in the School of Earth & Environmental Sciences (formally Department of Geography). Appointed for her dual expertise in the fields of Biogeography and Remote Sensing, Toni started work in the Department of Geography at the University of Wollongong in 1987.

A unifying thread of Toni’s research in Remote Sensing was her obsession with understanding why a response was observed, rather than simply characterising or applying the information. She taught an undergraduate course on the interpretation of satellite imagery and inspired keen Honours and Postgraduate students to undertake research on the natural environment, while also leading the Faculty of Science into the adoption of Geographical Information Systems (GIS).
