David A. Email & Phone Number

I am the Assistant Director of the Marine Spatial Information team within the Oceans, Reefs, Coasts, and the Antarctic Branch at Geoscience Australia. With over 14 years of experience in cartography and geospatial communication, I collaborate with government agencies and international working groups to enhance understanding of spatial interactions between offshore activities. My work focuses on delivering accessible digital frameworks that improve the management of Australia's maritime jurisdiction.Geospatial information bridges the gap between location and action, enabling evidence-based decisions to manage human, economic, and environmental activities. As Australia transitions to a data-driven economy, my goal is to provide seamless access to critical geospatial data that supports marine planning and sustainable development; particularly the legal- and spatial-frameworks to support the management and marine planning for Australia’s Marine Jurisdiction.
