Communication among environmental researchers often involves not only work with geographical (spatial), but also with temporal data and information.\u00a0 Literature still provides limited documentation when it comes to user requirements for effective geo-collaborative work with spatio-temporal data. To start filling this gap, our study adopted a User-Centered Design approach and first explored the user requirements of environmental researchers working on distributed research projects for collaborative dissemination, exchange and work with spatio-temporal data. Our results show that system design will be mainly influenced by the nature and type of data users work with. From the end-users\u2019 perspective, optimal conversion of huge files of spatio-temporal data for further dissemination, accuracy of conversion, organization of content and security have a key role for effective geo-collaboration.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Zory on this achievement!<\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information on Zory\u2019s research please email <a href=\"mailto:zyovcheva@bournemouth.ac.uk\">zyovcheva@bournemouth.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zornitza Yovcheva a PhD student, has had her paper published after two and half years of revision the Journal of Applied Ergonomics.
