SPACE
The SPACE team worked in partnership with the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium and Nerve Centre to produce a book for children, and with Armagh Observatory and Planetarium and Revolve Comics to produce a comic book for older children and adolescents. Our children's book, "No Planet B?" takes children on a journey through space to explore other planets, and discover why planet Earth is perfect for us to thrive. Our comic book, "Planet B?", explores the importance of protecting where we live for human health and animal health. Accompanying our books, we also have additional educational resources, including colouring sheets and animated videos.
Educational Resources
As part of the SPACE (Supportive Environments for Physical and Social Activity, Healthy Ageing and Cognitive Health) research project, over the past year, in collaboration with OSNI/Land and Property Services, we have been developing a platform for accessing geospatial data across Northern Ireland – the SPACE geoportal. The geoportal can be used for exploring and downloading Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data relating to environmental variables which influence health and healthy ageing in our environment. Our open access geoportal resource houses 80+ datasets from across Northern Ireland, including land cover, climate, health, infrastructure and many more. The geoportal will be a useful resource for those working across research, academia, and policy in the area of health and the environment, and can be used to explore, discover, download and visualise spatial data across Northern Ireland.
