Training, Research & Academic Support
Building knowledge and technical capacity for industry, researchers and students.
Knowledge dissemination across industry and academia is part of our purpose, not a sideline to it. Compliance that depends entirely on an external consultant is fragile; the organisations that maintain environmental performance are the ones whose own people understand why the requirements exist.
What we deliver
- Environmental awareness and capacity-building programs
- Professional training for industry personnel
- Academic coaching in GIS applications and software
- Academic collaboration and research consultancy
- Technical guidance for dissertations, projects and scientific studies
- Data analysis, report preparation and environmental research support
Environmental awareness and capacity-building programs
Programs pitched at the audience that will actually use them, from site-level awareness through to management briefings. Content is built around the environmental realities of the organisation in question, because generic material is reliably forgotten.
Professional training for industry personnel
Technical training for the people responsible for environmental performance day to day — operators, supervisors and environmental officers. The emphasis is on the reasoning behind procedures, so staff can respond correctly to situations no procedure anticipated.
Academic coaching in GIS applications and software
Structured, hands-on coaching in GIS software and its application to real environmental problems, for students and early-career researchers. Sessions are built around the learner's own project wherever possible, so the skill is acquired on work that has to be submitted rather than on a sample dataset.
Academic collaboration and research consultancy
Collaboration with research organisations and academic institutions on environmental and geospatial studies, contributing field capability, analytical support and domain knowledge to work led by the institution.
Technical guidance for dissertations, projects and scientific studies
Methodological guidance for students and researchers — study design, sampling strategy, analytical approach and interpretation. The goal is a student who can defend the work, which means guiding the method rather than executing it for them.
Data analysis, report preparation and environmental research support
Analysis of environmental datasets and preparation of technical reports to publication or submission standard, including presentation of results in a form a non-specialist reviewer can follow without losing the technical substance.
