Exploration Intelligence Consulting

Decision-Ready Intelligence for Energy, Resources, Climate, and Exploration

I leverage a unique background spanning geophysics, planetary systems, ocean exploration, remote sensing, autonomy, and geoinformatics to deliver high-value intelligence for exploration, infrastructure, and operations in extreme environments

.

Whether you’re targeting critical minerals, siting renewable energy assets, evaluating coastal or climate risk, or planning autonomous and space missions, you receive precision insight fast.
Every engagement also strengthens Sustainable Exploration, the next-generation planetary intelligence platform I’m building.I bring a rare blend of geophysics, planetary science, ocean exploration, remote sensing, autonomy, and geoinformatics to help organizations make confident, high-impact decisions in complex and extreme environments.


Whether you’re evaluating critical minerals, siting renewable infrastructure, assessing coastal vulnerabilities, or designing robotic or orbital missions, I deliver high-value analysis fast. As a co-benefit, each engagement also informs Sustainable Exploration, the planetary intelligence platform I am building.


My Promise:


  • Rapid Delivery: Insight that normally takes months delivered in days to weeks..
  • Precision Intelligence: Terrain, ESG, routing, hazard, climate, and resource maps tied to decision logic.
  • Refinement With Every Engagement: Each project strengthens the models, workflows, and data foundations of Sustainable Exploration.
  • Designed for Scale: From local infrastructure to regional energy planning to lunar logistics.
