Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnika Staccone is a product-minded scientist and data practitioner with nearly a decade of experience translating messy, multi-source environmental data into actionable insights for carbon and ecosystem projects. She blends statistical modeling, mixed-effects approaches, machine learning, remote sensing and geospatial modeling to forecast carbon removals and quantify natural risks to reforestation at scale. Her cross-functional work at Earthshot and Pachama spans science, product, operations and software engineering, applying tools like Python, Jupyter, and distributed computing to move research into production-ready workflows. Trained as a PhD ecologist from Columbia with a background in environmental engineering, she pairs deep domain knowledge of AFOLU methodologies (Verra, Gold Standard) with hands-on field and remote-sensing experience. Notably, she has built novel indices for weather-index insurance and led large spatial analyses on datasets of over 18 million trees, showing an appetite for high-impact, large-scale problems. She is based in New York and is motivated by opportunities to work with interesting data that inform ethical, high-quality carbon solutions.
