Dr Dominic Fontana 
Senior Lecturer Buckingham Building, Lion Terrace, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO1 3HE Telephone: +44 (0)23 9284 2477 Fax: +44 (0)23 9284 2512 E-mail: dominic.fontana@port.ac.uk A Short Biography I graduated (as a mature student) in 1991 from Portsmouth Polytechnic. My career so far has been somewhat eclectic, encompassing a five year period working for British Railways, a stint at Salisbury College of Art studying photography and five years working as project photographer on The Mary Rose (external link) maritime archaeological project. This project excavated and recovered King Henry VIII's vice-flagship, which sank in 1545 during an action against the French, from the seabed of the Solent in 1982. The Mary Rose Trust now preserves and displays the ship and its contents in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard. Since graduating in 1991 I have remained at the Department of Geography at Portsmouth first running one of the consultancy units, Solent Mapping and Charting, which is concerned with GIS development and surveying and mapping using analytical photogrammetry and high precision GPS as data sources. Since 1994 I have been a lecturer in GIS. I gained my PhD in 2002 from University of Portsmouth. Current Research Interests: With the background in Maritime Archaeology gained from The Mary Rose Project I have been combining my interests in The Langstone Harbour
Archaeological Survey Project. This inter-disciplinary project is developing a Geographic Information System (GIS) to hold, manage and display
archaeological and environmental data for the analysis of a coastal and inter-tidal zone. I also have interests in historical mapping and web dissemination of research data.
