We're proud to have dedicated staff like Alejandro on our team who are using science to create a better Queensland. 👏.

"Back home, I often heard 'Con calma, que hay prisa'. In English it means 'Stay calm—we’re in a hurry'…there’s a growing need to act quickly today for a tomorrow we are only beginning to understand — and still learning how to navigate." 🌍.

"This work ensures that accurate & current spatial data is available to support modelling, planning & trend analysis," Alejandro shared. 💭 We recently completed land use mapping for the Great Barrier Reef catchments and are now focused on updating data for the rest of QLD.

👋 Meet our Remote Sensing Scientist Alejandro Garza-Garcia 👏 Alejandro specializes in using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyse & update land use across QLD, a crucial task that supports informed decision-making across our state. 🔍

Kathleen's expertise and passion for conservation are vital to the work we do. Join us in thanking her this National #ScienceWeek for the invaluable contribution she makes to protecting and conserving our Queensland environment.

Her work allows us to visualize complex environmental data, from biodiversity mapping to land-use patterns, in an easy-to-understand format. 🧠 “As a birdwatcher, I’m also proud in my role to provide spatial support to WildNet (QLD biodiversity database)” Kathleen reflects.
