I am a senior research scientist with 14 years’ experience in marine conservation, water quality, environmental mapping and spatial technologies. My research uses Geographic Information Systems, Earth Observation technologies and geostatistics to inform the management of water resources and ecosystem health in wetlands, coastal, marine and protected areas. Through the course of my career, I have led and contributed to several research and consulting projects related to water quality mapping and monitoring and to the management of water resources in Europe, Australia, Colombia and the Pacific Islands (land-sourced contaminants transport, wastewater monitoring, exposure mapping and risk assessment, outback spring water monitoring, upwelling monitoring in the Caribbean Colombian coast). I have extensive experience reporting on environmental data, managing regional in-situ and spatial datasets and translating complex datasets and Earth Observation data into relevant information for management and decision-making. I am also interested in visual communication in science and love compiling and showcasing satellite datasets to support scientific stories.I am currently one of the principal investigator for the Reef Rescue Marine Monitoring Program (Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, Queensland, Australia). In this Program, I am responsible of the development and implementation of innovative mapping and monitoring tools to assess trends in water quality and the exposure of key marine ecosystems to land-sourced pollutants in the Great Barrier Reef marine park. I also work as a freelance consultant for E+Ocean consulting.
