Building a Unified Intelligence Architecture for Planetary Exploration
I’m Niko Grapsas, a planetary geophysicist, systems architect, and field explorer developing AI-powered terrain intelligence to guide sustainable exploration across Earth, ocean, and space.
My work fuses geophysics, remote sensing, AI, and autonomy to help teams decide where to explore, where to build, and how to operate across the planet’s most challenging environments.
Through Sustainable Exploration, I deliver rapid terrain, ESG, and resource analytics to governments, developers, and mission planners to enable smarter decision-making.
I build systems that make exploration sustainable, on Earth and beyond.
