Research & Analysis

ARGO is proficient in a range of technologies and research methods that enable us to undertake effective and efficient collection, integration, analysis and visualization of environmental and social data, particularly in remote and challenging locations.

Our team carry out advanced geospatial analysis to better understand current environmental and social conditions, predict future changes, identify risks and opportunities, and facilitate superior decision-making.

We utilize technology that allows us to work seamlessly across geographies, and maintain close and productive communication with clients and team members, regardless of location.  Further, we have built local capacity across New Zealand, Fiji and the Pacific, enabling us to conduct research and analysis quickly and very cost effectively. We have successfully employed these technologies in circumstances where physical travel has not been feasible.

Key services provided include:

  • GIS data capture and photo imagery including drone aerial photography, orthophotography and mobile data capture.
  • Geospatial analysis, modelling, visualization,  and development of web-based GIS platforms and applications.
  • Geodatabase design, development and management.
  • Environmental and social risk and constraints analyses.
  • Hazard and climate change vulnerability mapping.
