Following a PhD in Earth observation, Richard’s career centred on the use of sensor data for operational needs with a particular emphasis on the state of the marine environment; notably during his roles as the national data manager for the England and Wales Environment Agency and the head of applications market development for the British National Space Centre (now UK Space).
Richard is an ardent environmentalist committed to monitoring, understanding, sustaining and regenerating the marine environment with a track record of many projects where multi-source data streams were tamed, fused and transformed into operationally valuable information. Such projects include the specification, development and implementation of user driven systems and services, for example the glass cockpit of the RNLI Shannon class lifeboats and the use of augmented reality in bridge navigation systems.
