Before you commit, find the right data and tools to answer your question.
Independent advice for mining environmental teams, government programs and environmental consultancies, with no ties to any data provider.
Better environmental decisions start with better evidence.
I work with organisations that have a real environmental or natural-resource problem, and often already have data, technology or technical providers, but aren’t sure of the right approach. I help define the problem, work out what evidence is actually needed, and test whether the proposed method will deliver it.
I focus on the question first, and the technology second.
How I work
From problem to outcome
How I help
Problem, evidence, method, decision. I help you define the question and design the evidence before you commit to a technology.
-
Is a proposal, method or program appropriate, defensible and aligned with policy? An initial conversation before you commit, then an independent assessment or advisory service.
-
Monitoring design, remote-sensing strategy and field-EO integration, designed before choosing the technology.
-
Connecting scientists, developers and providers around the simplest defensible way to answer the question.
-
Data quality, fitness for purpose and user needs for space and EO programs.
-
Defined access to senior judgement, from a day a week or a monthly retainer to part-time program leadership.
Why work with me
25 years across satellite missions, ecology, remote sensing and spatial science, in government, research, industry and commercial settings.
Work includes independent technical advice on the $140M Spatial WA digital twin program, developing the sustainable agriculture program at SmartSat CRC, Earth observation data quality work with Geoscience Australia, and helping take CSIRO crop-mapping science through to a commercial product.
Based in Denmark, in WA’s Great Southern, and working with clients across Australia and internationally.
-
Not tied to any data provider, platform or software, so the advice is about what’s right for you.
-
I understand the space domain and how it relates to environmental questions. It’s not just the technology.
-
A trusted network of specialist advisors I bring in when a project needs extra depth, without the overhead of a large firm.
-
Advice you can act on and defend.
-
Mainly three groups: government spatial and Earth observation programs; environmental and geospatial consultancies; and companies in mining, agriculture and natural capital. I also work with space and EO organisations, environmental technology companies, and investors assessing EO and spatial ventures.
