Founder Erin has a passion for bridging the gap between science and management. Over the last 20 years, she's held technical and leadership roles as an independent consultant, academic, and government research scientist working at the interface of environmental science, ecology, geographic information science (GIS), and applied statistics. Erin's work has been used by government, industry, and NGOs to support condition and trend assessments, spatial prioritization of management actions, evaluations of the effectiveness of management actions, and natural and anthropogenic impact assessments under current and future land-use and climate scenarios.
Erin has excellent interdisciplinary collaboration and communication skills, gained from extensive experience working in and managing multidisciplinary teams, from diverse organisations, located across multiple states and continents. She has published over 70 peer-reviewed journal articles and reports, which have been cited over 3500 times. She and her team were finalists for the 2019 Australian Museum Eureka Prize for Innovation in Citizen Science, won the 2019 Asia-Pacific Spatial Excellence Award for People and Community, with industry partner FrontierSI, and the 2016 US Forest Service Rise to the Future Award for developing comprehensive and high-resolution status and trend information currently being used by dozens of US National Forests and partner agencies. Erin is currently an Adjunct Associate Professor at Queensland University of Technology and serves on the Southeast Queensland Healthy Land and Water Science Advisory Committee.
