  • Development of Targeted Models: Where gaps exist, design and develop new predictive models that enhance our understanding of specific phenomena (e.g., species distribution under climate impacts, eDNA dispersal models).
  • Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work closely with our marine biologist and data scientist, and GIS experts to integrate ecological insights into broader environmental models, ensuring outcomes are relevant and actionable.
  • Project Leadership: Lead the technical aspects of collaborative projects with industry partners, ensuring alignment with Ocean OS’s objectives and delivering high-quality outputs for clients.
