Applied Earth Scientists are vital for the energy transition and for our future because the sub surface plays a key part in the energy transition. Apart from the subsurface, Applied Earth Scientists are also monitoring the earth using satellites, and that gives key insight into the changing of the climate.
Think of carbon dioxide capture and storage, and geothermal energy… think of increasing the knowledge of the sub-surface via other industries. These are all industries that need a lot of applied earth engineers.

An example of a project we worked on last year was funding a company where they developed a service that maps trees in cities and assessed the impact of climate change on those different trees. And with that they helped the municipality to determine where they should grow trees and what kind of trees they should grow there.

My current project involves imaging the distribution of biomass in agricultural fields. With my team, we aim to support farmers with remote sensing data, which can provide continuous and reliable crop information. Enabling the farmers to optimise the available resources and implement timely interventions to maximise yields. As the stress on food supply increases due to the growing world population and climate change, crop monitoring can play a crucial role in ensuring food security.

For my first assignment, I was working at the Rock Department. I visited various quarries in France to find the right quality and quantity of rocks for the use of breakwaters. I also investigated how rocks for protection can be substituted for a more biodiversity enhancing alternative.
