Summary
Patrick Bogaart is a statistical researcher and data scientist with 10+ years applying quantitative methods to the intersection of earth systems, environment and economics, currently advancing national ecosystem accounting and natural capital work at CBS. Trained as a physical geographer (PhD in Quaternary Geology/Hydrology), he blends deep environmental science expertise with statistical and software development skills to estimate biodiversity and population trends and to build information systems for policy use. His career spans academia and applied research—from catchment hydrology and integrated water management to global change modeling—giving him a systems-level view of water-food-energy-land interactions. Patrick is fluent in turning complex, spatially and temporally structured datasets into actionable indicators for national accounts and public debate. He pairs rigorous trend estimation and ecosystem-service quantification with practical implementation experience in big dataset construction and reproducible research. Based in The Hague, he brings a rare combination of domain depth, coding-savvy, and policy-facing communication.
