Senior🎓
Top SchoolMitchell Lyons is a senior research fellow and geospatial data scientist with 12 years’ experience applying remote sensing, statistical modelling and cloud-based processing to coastal, marine and terrestrial ecosystem mapping. Based at UNSW and the Global Ocean Accounts Partnership, he bridges technical, management and policy domains to build ocean accounts and beyond-GDP indicators that inform sustainable development. His work spans large-scale coral reef and seagrass mapping, blue carbon accounting, bushfire and wildlife monitoring, and automated integration of field and satellite data. Trained with a PhD in Remote Sensing from The University of Queensland, he combines rigorous object-based and time-series methods with pragmatic, operational workflows for stakeholders. An uncommon strength is translating complex geospatial science into policy-ready metrics for multistakeholder programs.
