What is Phoenix?

Phoenix is a Environment Data Visualisation, Analysis and Management System that runs on Windows XP.
It provides, in a single package, all functionality necessary to store, retrieve, visualise and analyse environmental data. This in turn leads to a better understanding of the complex interacting processes that could potentially cause environmental harm and allows responsible parties (regulatory agencies, industry and research bodies) to better comprehend, share and use this information to prevent impacts to the environment and the community.
 

Could I benefit from Phoenix?

Environmentally sensitive sites accumulate an enormous amount of data collected manually or by on-site data loggers. Examples are surface water and ground water parameters, dust and noise, weather, flora and fauna data and many other ad hoc specific purpose sampling parameters. The resulting documentation is available in many different formats, including site and compliance monitoring reports, photos, videos and audio recordings, and may be scattered across several geographical locations. All this information can be gathered into Phoenix.

Locations of samplers and other sources of data are marked on an aerial photo that is draped over the true 3D topology of the mine site and displayed by Phoenix. This empowers the user to develop a very accurate mental image of a site and to discover causes of anomalies or previously hidden trends to then be able to make accurate recommendations as to possible rectifications. Information stored in databases can be linked to samplers located on the map and interrogated to change their visual representation. An intuitive user interface enables the novice or casual user of the system to quickly become confident in its use.

The industry can now also benefit first-hand from this application by purchasing Phoenix for their own in-house use. Several options are available, please contact Alex Pudmenzky for further details.
 

History of Phoenix

Phoenix was designed and written by Alex Pudmenzky at the University of Queensland as a research project. Since its conception in 2005, it has continued to undergo development and capability expansion to match the needs of the industry and is now available as a commercial product.
