Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Gibb is an environmental-focused geospatial informatics leader with a 35-year career advancing GIS research, standards and data infrastructure, now serving as Ruahine Kiwi Project Lead and Research Associate in Informatics. He led large multidisciplinary teams at Landcare Research, conceived the SCENZ-Grid workflow-for-geospatial-analysis project, and shepherded Discrete Global Grid Systems from OGC specification to ISO 19170 editorial completion. Robert combines deep technical authorship (UML-driven standards, Metanorma/asciidoc automation) with practical conservation work, aiming to enable kiwi reintroductions through predator control. An experienced standards strategist, he co-convened the OGC–ISO Joint Advisory Group and co-chaired the DGGS SWG, taking the spec from 2D to 4D and modularising it for broader use. Based in Palmerston North, he blends academic rigor (MSc in Physics/Astronomy) with hands-on implementation and an uncommon focus on tooling to automate standards publication.
