Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Scarth is a systems scientist and remote sensing expert with 11+ years in applied environmental data science, currently serving as Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Queensland and co-founder/Technical Director of Cibo Labs. He designs and operationalises machine-learning and MLOps pipelines that turn Sentinel and Landsat data into near-real-time national products for vegetation cover, pasture biomass and land‑cover change used by industry, government and CRCs. His work spans academic supervision, national-scale validation campaigns, and product delivery—bridging rigorous geospatial science with production engineering across AWS and Google Earth Engine. At Ozius and VegCover he translated optical, SAR, LiDAR and GEDI streams into predictive mapping and rare-feature computer vision tools, while at the Queensland Government he managed multi‑petabyte archives and calibration workflows. He combines a PhD in geographical sciences/mathematics with hands-on field calibration experience and a pragmatic focus on traceability and deforestation‑free verification for supply chains. An unusual strength is his ability to move seamlessly between research, field instrumentation and cloud MLOps to deliver operational environmental insights.
