Profile
I am a global change geographer with a particular interest in earth observation, peatlands and biogeoscience. I am part of the Space Hub Yorkshire (SHY) and work as the UK-EONS CCN Coordinator. I translate Earth observation (EO) and environmental sustainability applications knowledge across the academic and commercial EO sector by growing and diversifying this UK EO network, supporting research and innovation funding pitches.
